I don't think you should worry about being blindsided per se. I'm sure you already know there are two interviews, and the style of the interview can vary depending on the interviewers. Luckily none of my interviews were high-stress but be prepared to answer the usual med school interview questions and talk about the things on your application. You will be touring Grady, so wear shoes you can walk in.

Ok thank you!

The interviews are 45 minutes to an 1 hour long. That was the only thing that surprised me but everything is pretty smooth sailing. Just practice up on common questions and know your application, PS, and secondary.

My second interview was literally 10 minutes which worried me a bit but everyone who had that interviewer said theirs was short as well.

I think it does vary per interviewer because one of mines was about 15 minutes. Especially if one interviewer is interviewing 2 people in the hour timeframe. But some of the people who interviewed with me were in there for about 45 minutes to an hour. We just got lucky! :)

If it's the Indian guy, I had my interview with him. The Interview was less than ten minutes, he seemed to like me though. I know this wait is killing you guys, it's killing me too. I'm waiting on Morehouse or Howard to hit me with that decision, either way, it's better to know than to be stuck in Limbo like this. I interviewed in Dec. still yet to hear anything.

Does anyone know if we get a refund of the $100 if we withdraw our acceptance ? MSAR says yes, but some schools have different policies from what is on MSAR.

A few of my friends live in the Calibre Lake apartments. Very beautiful and affordable if you ask me, and the drive isn't too bad. You're very close to I-285. Take that for about 5 miles, get unto I-20, and you'll be at morehouse in no time.
Midtown will be too expensive.

Yes, your deposit is refundable up until April 30th (fairly sure). I called last week to make sure :)

You should probably call them as soon as possible and let them know you just received the letter and will be sending your deposit. They probably expected you to receive the letter long before now. I'm guessing you are OOS?
 
Accepted today as well, OOS. Interviewed early December.

I hate that they didn't inform us via email.
So technically from the words in the admission letter, The deadline was 02/19. I called them yesterday, they said we should send the deposit ASAP.

Yeah I had to do the same thing. I really wish they did emails cause I use my address for my home but I'm at school right now so ive been bugging my father to check the mail.
 
Hi everyone! New to posting so hopefully I'm doing this right! I'm interviewing here tomorrow and I never got a formal invite in the mail... For those who already interviewed what building should we report to?

There will be someone at the gate when you arrive that will tell you where to park and where to go.

Is there a certain amount of time people have waited post-interview until they called to check their status? Is there any point at all in calling to check your status?

Your status will forever be under review post-interview lol
From what I have noticed, they haven't accepted many (or any?) in-state people and they probably won't until April?

I'm in state and was accepted a couple of weeks ago! I interviewed January 6th. My interview group didn't have many in-state people from what I can remember... I may have been one of three.

Hey guys! I just received an email this morning stating that a school I've either been wait listed or accepted to has requested to do a background check. I got the email from AAMC. Did anyone else get that email?
