What impressed you positively?

The Emory campus is AMAZING! It's a very beautiful campus with a lot of amenities and everyone seemed extremely nice. Also the info sessions were not only actually informative (unlike many of the other interviews I've been on), they were extremely entertaining.

What impressed you negatively?

I think the conditions in Grady are pretty bad. While I would love to practice medicine there, the disparity between their inner city hospital (Grady) and the one servicing the upper class part of town (University Hospital) is ridiculous.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. Also, to echo others definitely bring walking shoes. Emory really, really doesn't care and the tour is about three hours!!!

What are your general comments?

Emory interviews in both a one-on-one basis and also a group interview. I thought the one-on-one interview went extremely well and the interviewer attemped to put me at ease. However, the group interview just seems to naturally be awkward, unlike the one-on-one interview the interviewers were somewhat colder and seemed to be there for their questions only. Each of the group interviewers merely asked all three applicants the same question right in a row. Don't worry if you think that you wished you said what the other applicants are currently saying or that they are using your "good answer," because everyone feels that way...just stay calm and confident. The interviewers only have access to your AMCAS personal statement so be sure to give it a look over once before going to interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
