What impressed you positively?

how friendly the staff and students were. also, they seemed interested in feedback from students, which is a good sign.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

i've seen better lecture halls. i've seen worse too, but so much of the rest of the campus is immaculate, except those rooms. also, emory is a little behind in technology. i know of other schools that have lectures on streaming video, give students laptops and pda's, etc

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

there are two interviews, one 3 on 3 and a 1 on 1. the tour really is long, but that's good because you really get a feel for the facilities. we did a good tour of grady, including the cafeteria (for lunch), student call lounge, film rooms (for x-rays), er, wards, nicu and emory hospital. plus all the campus facilities (tour started around 9:30 and ended around 12:30, including lunch). there was some down time between interivews and a lot of m1s stopped by to scarf down the cookies and popcorn (thanks erica). that was good b/c you got more chances to ask questions about the day to day student life. we also sat in on a pbl session, which was really interesting (and how does that cause chest pain?.... and how does that cause chest pain?...). in all, you really get a chance to learn a lot, but don't forget that you're there to sell them on you as much as they are to sell you on emory! in the end, however, you have to experience grady. imho, that's what makes emory. if you don't want to spend time there, emory might not be for you. also, it's open file but i don't think the interviewers have your mcat, gpa, etc. i think they just have your essay. after the interview, i think they review the rest of your folder, incl lor's and maybe grades/mcat etc.
