does that means they won’t be sending out any more acceptances today?

From what I've seen, they tend to only send out emails once per decision day, so I assume that means no more decisions. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though!

From last year, I read that they send them out in batches of up to 3. Not sure if the same applies this year. So fingers crossed!!!

Like they send them out at three different times or to 3 diff people?
 
given the size of the cohort I would hope it’s 3 different times and not the number of people
 
I’m allowed to send a letter of intent to MCG, right? It’s in their document upload section of the portal.
 
Were early December interviews included in this release date?
 
Does anyone know how viable the Savannah campus is in terms of research/ECs? Would vastly prefer to live there vs Augusta, but not if its gonna lock me out of any potential specialty paths. Why do they only give us two weeks to pick a campus...

What I gather, it seems the Savannah campus has more limited research and EC opportunities. Having said that, you have more say in student orgs and events, seeing as they're still in their early stages.


If I get the A, I think I'm leaning toward Augusta purely for the research and certain EC's I enjoy, even though I would prefer living in Savannah.

+1 II, can anyone give me any tips for mmi? It will be my first time. Thank you in advance!
I gave advice to an applicant to a MMI format recently. This strat is what helped me prepare for MMI (not specifically MCG, though)

2. MMI Practice

After sharpening up my general interviewing, I moved on to doing specific prep. There are many methods or frameworks that work for MMI, but I find my favorite and most effective is PRYO.

P: Problem (restate the problem in your own words, focusing on ethical considerations you will address. this should be 2 sentences MAX)

R: Responsibilities (ex. if you are a doctor, you need to uphold the 4 principles of medical ethics. MANY questions will have these principles! Autonomy, beneficence, justice, and non-maleficence come up in scenarios outside of medicine, so try to identify 1-2 principles BEFORE you answer the question)

Y: Your Opinion (MAKE AN ARGUMENT AND SUPPORT IT!!!! The MMI isn't about being right, its about supporting your opinion LOGICALLY)

O: Other's Opinion (Acknowledge the other side to the argument ALWAYS, but then follow up with why you maintain your opinion despite understanding counterarguments).

I would record myself and see how well I did answering each of these parts of the framework. I did the whole list of applicable questions in this free question bank (google it): Big List of All Med School Interview Questions- Part 2: Multiple Mini Interview (MMI)

I know its Canadian ethics, but I still think practicing those scenarios will help a lot. Also be ready for followup questions. If you can get a jump on that by thinking about probable off-shoots of the scenario you are being asked about, then you can easily ace the interview.

Even though this is a solid framework, you can't be a stick during the MMI. I know it's hard, but be as personable as possible. It means a lot to the interviewers and will help you stand out compared to the people who are doing the MMI the "right" way.
