What are your general comments?

"there are two interviews, one 3 on 3 and a 1 on 1. the tour really is long, but that's good because you really get a feel for the facilities. we did a good tour of grady, including the cafeteria (for lunch), student call lounge, film rooms (for x-rays), er, wards, nicu and emory hospital. plus all the campus facilities (tour started around 9:30 and ended around 12:30, including lunch). there was some down time between interivews and a lot of m1s stopped by to scarf down the cookies and popcorn (thanks erica). that was good b/c you got more chances to ask questions about the day to day student life. we also sat in on a pbl session, which was really interesting (and how does that cause chest pain?.... and how does that cause chest pain?...). in all, you really get a chance to learn a lot, but don't forget that you're there to sell them on you as much as they are to sell you on emory! in the end, however, you have to experience grady. imho, that's what makes emory. if you don't want to spend time there, emory might not be for you. also, it's open file but i don't think the interviewers have your mcat, gpa, etc. i think they just have your essay. after the interview, i think they review the rest of your folder, incl lor's and maybe grades/mcat etc." Report Response
