I think it your interview changes depending on who you speak to. Different physicians/ emory faculty will interview you and I think each have a very different approach. It started very early. Online is always a bit stiff but they did everything possible to make it less stressfull.

Aside from the length, this was the most pleasant interview day I've ever had. The day was so long, I had to go out and get a drink afterwards. Otherwise, it left me a great impression.

How relaxed and un-stressful the questions were. My mock interviewer(s) drilled me compared to Emory's walk in the park questions. If you're not long-winded and a goo coversationlist, you'll love these interviews.

The length. This was by far the longest interview day I've been on. In my head, I kept asking, "Can we go home now?" No, but, seriously.

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

The friendliness of the faculty and staff. How relaxed the interviews were. How organized and "put together" the interview was. The thoroughness of the programs and activities offered to get involved.

SDN. Mock interviews.

When they say bring tennis shoes for the tour, they're not joking or testing you. You can really do it. The tour is super long, so definitely make sure you have comfortable shoes on for it.

It's a very long interview day, so be prepared for that. The group interview is two faculty and one med student vs three interviewees. It is very non-competitive and they basically just ask a question and go down the line and each person has a chance to answer.

The same student who takes you on your tour is the one who interviews you in the group interview, so you definitely feel like you have to remain vigilantly professional while on your tour which is ironic because Emory has the most thorough tour out of any school I've been to. Speaking of which, the tour was so long, as was the interview day in general.

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

The school itself is super nice, the new hospital looks really cool, and Grady Memorial is definitely a wild place to learn and you'd see a lot. The tour was super cool, we got to see a good portion of Grady, including the ED and we even foamed into the NICU which was kind of awkward but worth it to see all the cute babies. Everyone is super nice, and the interview is relatively laid back. They provide refreshments and cookies throughout the day, and lunch was delicious.

Traffic is a little bad around Atlanta, but that was to be expected.

Staff, the hospitals, the campus, the students. Grady is an amazing hospital.
