How did you prepare for the interview?

Grilled my student host, looked over the website and got a good night's sleep.

What impressed you positively?

The students absolutely love being at Emory. The new facilities will be great. The new curriculum is in the works. I loved everything about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

You pretty much need a car to be there, but that is not too bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't need to stress at all. They don't grill you during the interview, they just want to make sure you aren't a weirdo.

What are your general comments?

I stayed with a student host. She was awesome, I highly recommend the program. In the morning the group was split in half. I did my interviews right away and that was great so I didn't have to stress for the rest of the day and I wasn't tired during the interview. We got a talk and short presentation from one of the Deans, he is really funny and the admissions coordinator is awesome. Everyone makes you feel comfy, just relax. I had a one-on-one interview first and it was very general, tell me about yourself, your family, why medicine, why emory type questions. The second was a three-on-three and it was easy, but had more specific questions. I thought the three on three was easier because the questions were specific to your experience so you weren't competing with the other applicants like I imagined. After the interview we got lunch at Grady, they paid for it and got a tour. Tour was ok, by that time my mind was already made up that I loved the place so it wasn't that important to me.
