Emory University School of Medicine

🙂

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

This school really impressed me with the amount of opportunities available to intern at CDC, and work in a universal access hospital (Grady takes any patients, even foreigners). Coca Cola's money is evident in all the new and nice buildings. After the interview, Emory moved to the top of my list.

Interview questions they asked

How do feel about not having your family around and not having the support system when you're in med school?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Did you vote in the California recall election? Would you vote for Arnold?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

(This was a question given to another interviewee) Since you dad was a Physician, what are some of the things he did that you'll follow, and what are some of the things you'll change?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my secondary, read SDN

What impressed you positively?

The School EXTREMELY support MD/MPH. Very flexible MPH program with 50% tuition of that year paid for by the school. New and nice buildings with CDC and American Cancer Society nearby.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm still skeptical even the dean assured that the A-F grading system and block exam schedules are not that bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are not a lot of Californians either interviewing or attending Emory. Only 1 attending in this year's class. Emory is a very "white" campus, a sharp contrast to California.
