What are your general comments?
If it were not for the group interview, Emory would have given me a better impression. It showed the competitive nature of student life there. The faculty interviewers were NOT friendly at all, and it was not converstional or relaxed (unnecessary for them to act that way). Also, some facilities (classrooms) were outdated and need to be renovated. The curriculum should also become more innovative... Overall, though, it is a lovely campus.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Most were standard (why emory? tell us about family?)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read my application, read the website and info sent, talked to current students
What impressed you positively?
The tour was very organized and Erica Black and Dean Eley were VERY friendly.
What impressed you negatively?
The group interviewers were NOT friendly. The format was very rigid, and the interviewees were asked questions as if they were there alone (one-to-one). It was an awkward, stressful, and competitive setting. Furthermore, the faculty did not respond to interviewees so it felt very stressful. The school definitely gave off an aura of trying to seem "competitive" and such.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The format of the group interview.
