How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read &quot;Understanding Health Policy,&quot; reviewed my AMCAS application (the interviewers only have access to your personal statement), and answered the interview questions in the book &quot;Essays that will get you into Medical School.&quot;

What impressed you positively?

I loved the group interview. I got along very, very well with the other 2 interviewees in my group, and having them around gave me more confidence. I liked how one of the interviewers was the student who gave us our tour of Grady, so I already felt comfortable around him, as well.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

I was very impressed with Emory, and this somewhat surprised me. The interviewees had done amazing things, many had been out of school for a few months, and the majority had international experience. The majority were also friendly and noncompetitive. The school seems like a wonderful place for people who want to focus in global health and earn an MD/MPH. I think Emory will help you reach your goals, especially if you want to do something somewhat nontraditional. Their curriculum seems well-suited for people who like to think outside the box and create their own path. In addition, the school itself is gorgeous!!
