What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 1)?

"The questions follow your AMCAS application (since the interviewers know nothing about you)- very straightforward factual questions (although it varies among interviewers I hear)." Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most interesting question?

"MCG interviews are a little different from a lot of schools in the sense that your interviewers take copious notes on everything you say - so it's not exactly conversational, more "businesslike." One of my interviewers asked very biographical questions - ie tell me about your family, extra curriculars, what did you do in the summer, how many times you taken the mcat, etc etc. So I felt like I was just reiterating my AMCAS application. After the interviewer finished asking questions and stopped writing, I had a chance to talk to her/him and it became a more humane conversation. " Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most difficult question?

"Basically you have two interviews - one of those will be with a member of the adcom who will be presenting you, the other with a faculty member who will just write a report. My adcom interviewer was incredibly nice and I was much more relaxed during that interview." Report Response | I was asked this question too

What impressed you positively?

"Everyone is very sweet and friendly and tries to answer your questions as best as possible. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The lunch is after the tour at 1 pm. The day starts at 8:30. So basically by the time you finally have lunch you are at the point of cannibalism. Eat a BIG breakfast and take snacks so you can enjoy your tour. Also - students practice NG tubes on each other. This is the only medical school that does that as far as I know (I think OSHA disapproves of it). The idea of someone who has no idea what they're doing sticking a tube into my stomach is not the most appealing. " Report Response
