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." Report Response

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." Report Response

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." Report Response

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!" Report Response
