What impressed you positively?

The whole interview process was very, very low stress - even the group interview! - and the people were very very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

I was a bit worried about being the first to try the new curriculum, but it sounds exciting nonetheless.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the people at emory and in atlanta aren't as southern as I was worried they would be - they are very progressive, non racist, non southern, etc. I WISH THAT I KNEW THE INTERVIEW WOULD BE NOT THAT BAD!!! it is not a scary group interview!!

What are your general comments?

The group interview was formal, but very relaxed. they ask pointed questions so you don't get put against each other - there was never a point where i felt inadequate or under qualified because the questions only pertained to the answerer. (tell me about yourself... doesn't make you too nervous) actually, it was kinda fun getting to hear about your peer's experiences - at other interviews, you never get to hear about where others are in life. i enjoyed it actually, it was totally stress free.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
