How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

There are two interviews, both are semo-open so they have only seen your personal statement. The first interview is group, 3 applicants, 3 interviewers. The second interview is one on one. All the questions I received were related to my personal statement, or to something I said during the interview. I got no ethical or health care questions, though apparently some people did. Overall, it was very relaxing and not intimidating at all. Everyone makes you feel very welcome.

That almost all hands-on medical instruction is done at Grady in downtown Atlanta and not at Emory Hospital.
