What are your general comments?
The interviews are relatively laid back. The panel interview isn't anything to worry about but is just a little awkward. The interviewers say they wan't it to be a discussion, but then direct questions at a specific person as opposed to making it a round-table forum. The tour was comprehensive, but long (get your sleep the night before). Overall, a very positive experience.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
of all the world changing events of the past 10 years, which one has been the most important?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Asked my student host questions about emory and the interview day
What impressed you positively?
The first-year students all seemed to be very enthusiastic; the administration was fun, down to earth and put all of us at ease; the Emory campus is gorgeous
What impressed you negatively?
There is some major construction on the medical school buildings that won't be completed until 2007. I don't seem to understand the purpose of the group interview - while it's interesting to hear about other candidate's lives, you wind up doing that anyway from talking to everyone throughout the day.
