What impressed you positively?

Students seemed SO nice and laidback. Definitely a bright bunch but not a bunch of gunners. Erica Black, the admissions lady, is SUPER nice! She helped sell the school to me. There's going to be a brand new med school building and new curriculum (18 month basic sciences, 6 month break, 2 years of clinical studies).

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Atlanta isn't that bad, esp the area that Emory is in.

What are your general comments?

You are a part of a relatively small interview group, about 10-12. Everyone has a 1-on-1 interview with a faculty member that is open file and then there's a group interview (2 faculty, M4, and 3 applicants) that is closed file. During the group interview, they ask very generic questions (why medicine, why Emory, what do you do for fun, etc) and then they read your file after you leave the room. 1/2 the applicants will have morning tour and afternoon interviews and the other 1/2 will have a reverse schedule. One M4 takes you to Grady Hospital, where you have lunch and tour the facilities. This M4 will also be on the panel in the group interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
