General questions about my AMCAS application and what I did over the summer.
If I had one year and an unlimited amount of money, what would I do?
Tell me about your family.

What was the most interesting question?

One year, unlimited money, what would you do? I loved this question because it allowed me to talk about an interest of mine that I haven't been able to pursue.

What was the most difficult question?

How does and emergency doctor build a trusting relationship with patients? This was a fair question because I talked about the importance of the doctor-patient relationship in my AMCAS personal statement.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, read my secondaries for all schools, reviewed AMCAS application, school website.

What impressed you positively?

Everything! I've been at Emory forever and was not really considering the school as a viable option because I want to move away for a while. My interview day (the longest but most enjoyable of all six so far) had me convinced that I NEED to go to Emory for medical school. Everything was great! The new building is gorgeous and there is a great variety of hospitals for gaining hands-on experience. The school also has great partnerships, especially for those of us interested in public health and global opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

The hospitals are a little spread out, but (little known fact), there are shuttles from the university to every one of them. One student was a little off-putting but he has nothing to do with the interview day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the day would complicate my decision even further. It was amazing! And I got to see Grady from a completely different perspective.

What are your general comments?

One interview is one-on-one and the other is a group interview (3 interviewees, 3 interviewers). Don't be stressed about the group interview because questions are directed to individuals. It's a laid-back day so enjoy it!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

You guys were amazing! Erica and Dr. Schwartz are a great team. Need healthy morning food options.
