How did you prepare for the interview?

Relaxed, spent time getting to know the other interviewees in my panel interview.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. Seems like a no-nonsense school with the strongest M3-M4 clinical experience of any school I know of or applied to. The students were incredibly friendly, not just the young ones but also the older ones. The M1's we met had a joint-exam coming up and were still coming to hang out and talk to the peons :).

What impressed you negatively?

Emory's curriculum is on the verge of changing and my class would be most likely straddling the sides of the change. Given Emory's strength with board scores and residency matches, I am honestly unconcerned about this, but I see how others could be troubled by it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The strength of Emory's clinical years and the amazing amount of oppurtunities that there are for trying different specialties during clerkships.

What are your general comments?

The interview experience was wonderful. They treated us great and set us at ease from the first moment. The panel interview was a little nerve wracking only because of the degree of capability of the other applicants.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
