⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The group interview was not as bad as I expected. It was really like an individual interview, but with other people around--we didn't really have to interact with the other applicants much. They have your personal statement, and most of the questions came from there. Then we had an individual interview, which was really relaxed, and they also only have your personal statement
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How is the idea of your being a physician received by your parents? What do your parents and siblings do for a living?
How did you prepare for the interview?
reread my AMCAS, read this sight, reread my secondary
What was the most difficult question?
Do you have any hesitations about attending medical school? What are they?
What impressed you positively?
the students were really nice and friendly and loved Emory, despite the grades, it didn't seem competitive, the campus is gorgeous, Atlanta is awesome, my interviewers were really nice, they are very receptive to students' suggestions and opinions
What impressed you negatively?
the 3 hour tour of Grady and Emory University hospitals...we've all seen a hospital, they pretty much look the same. Also, the facilities were slightly outdated.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Definitely take the MARTA to the airport--it is about $2.00 and only takes half an hour. You don't have to worry about rush hour traffic, and the MARTA drops you off right at baggage check in.
