How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read SDN feedback and Emory's website.

What impressed you positively?

All of the students seemed very laid-back and happy, and they all raved about Emory. Pass/fail grading. Exams given on Friday. The new curriculum is very unique and the students seem to like it a lot. Beautiful, new medical school building. Students are exposed to a wide range of patients.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My student host was late getting me to the interview because she under-estimated how long it would take to get to the school, park, and walk over to the admissions office.

What are your general comments?

My interview was very stressful and I don't think it went well. My one-on-one interviewer was an MD who grilled me with some tough questions. The 30-minute group interview was very short - since there were 3 of us, it was essentially a 10-minute interview, and I didn't feel like they got to know me very well. The group interviewers seemed to make up their mind right away that they liked one of the interviewees best and directed most of their questions at him for the entire interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
