Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the Emory campus is beautiful - they spend the Coke money on lots of neat toys and modern architecture; Erica, the admissions director, is wonderfully enthusiastic and helpful; ability to get an MD/MPH

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the "traditionalism" of the school - they are very set in their ways and don't look to change any time soon. curriculum is traditional, as is the A-F grading; joint exams seem like they'd be very stressful; lack of ambulatory care education; students didn't strike me as terribly enthusiastic

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how serious they are about Coke up there. don't even make jokes about Pepsi - they're incredibly serious about this.

What are your general comments?

Brief review of the format: there's one 3-on-3 group interview and one 1-on-1 interview. Both are "semi-open" file - they see your writings, but not your numbers. The interview day runs about 7:30 to 4, so eat breakfast and be ready for a fair amount of walking. Much of the panel interivew involved all 3 of us answering the same question, so although we weren't directly competing against each other in that sense, the committee could have compared us if they wanted to.
