At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
I talked to the student I stayed with the night before, I checked out this website, and I researched a little about Emory.
What impressed you positively?
The school actually did have a campus of sorts with a very nice gym just a short walk away. The students seemed to really like the school.
What impressed you negatively?
Emory is a very traditional school in the sense that there is a strong separation between the two years of sciences and the two years of medicine. They are slowly starting to integrate more patient contact, but at this point students don't even begin learning how to interview patients until the second semester of their second year.
What are your general comments?
I highly recommend staying with a student. It's free, they almost always provide a bed, you can get a firsthand account of the school, and they take you to the interview in the morning so you don't have to worry about finding it. I like Emory, but it's not my first choice. More about the interviews: you have a one on one interview that lasts for about 20 minutes. Then you have a three on three interview that lasts for about 40 minutes. Neither were stressful.
