What impressed you positively?

How happy everyone was. The students seemed like they genuinely cared, were outgoing, and just very lively. Also the staff was so friendly. And the new building is very pretty. It seemed like a great place overall.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much, just that the shuttle ride to the Grady hospital/tour seemed a little boring.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My feet hurt in both my interview shoes and the ''comfortable'' shoes that I brought!

What are your general comments?

It was a great experience! Emory went from being a school that I had little interest in to one of my top choices. I would LOVE it if I got in, but I'm afraid I had a few awkward moments with the interviewers. It was my first one so I was a little nervous.
