What impressed you positively?

The new medical school building is breathtakingly gorgeous. The turtles in the admissions office are adorable. The tour was long but really comprehensive and pleasant. The students all seemed very happy and would wander over on their own to talk to us. I also really enjoyed my box lunch there :)

What impressed you negatively?

It was really hard to get around without a car. I shelled out a lot of cash for taxi rides.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Both the group and the one-on-one interviews were closed file, though all 4 interviewers did have the personal statement.

What are your general comments?

Emory is amazing, and I think I fell in love with the school after my visit. The thought they put into their new curriculum and their beautiful facilities, as well as the way the faculty and admissions staff treat the students, really shows how much they care about the students and their well-being.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The admissions staff couldn't have been any friendlier.
