So I have an interview this friday, so I was expecting a schedule to be sent out, but I haven't gotten one yet! Should I have received it? Anyone interviewing on Friday get a schedule of the day/interviewer's name, etc?

You will receive your schedule and interviewer names after you arrive during a little intro session. Good luck and enjoy the interview!

You'll get a schedule with your interview times and interviewer names as soon as you get there and check in. They divide that day's applicants into two groups with morning or afternoon interviews, and the other group takes a tour during that time.

My schedule: Group meeting with the Dean of admissions, a one-on-one interview, a group interview, lunch, tour of the school, tour of Grady hospital, tour around Emory's campus (lots of walking!)

I did not get one until the morning of the interview when they handed me a paper copy.

Weird...I got my list of interviewers and the questions they were going to ask before I received my interview invite. They told me I didn't even have to come in, I could just fill the questions out and reply via email

II this afternoon! OOS, LizzyM circa 74. ECSTATIC

 

[wagonwheel23]

@beyonce123 If Emory would be stupid enough to say no to Beyonce, I'd withdraw my app ASAP.

Now I want an II even more so I can hang with Queen Bey in med school.

IS or OOS?

IS or OOS?

Doesn't matter for private institutions... well most of them. Only Baylor and Brown have some sort of bias.

not true. many private institutions do have particular mission statements, some of those being a desire for a certain amount of instate students

OOS

is emory one of those institutions with a desire for instate students? according to the msar, they seemed to accept a higher percentage of interviewed instate applicants than interviewed OOS applicants.

That wasn't the feeling I got during my interview. Rather, it seems like the people most seriously interested in Emory tend to self select a bit. For east/west coasters, the prospect of Atlanta/the south might not be as familiar or as attractive as SF/NY/Boston. That said, I'm an east coaster through and through and I really enjoyed my day there.

 

[Cytokine2014]

I feel a little confused about Emory. I'm a good stats fit for them, and a good mission fit I think. But no love. Anyone have insight on what they're looking for outside of stats? Personality, ECs, priorities, etc?

There's really no way to know.

 

[Cytokine2014]

Well, yes. But schools are known for certain things sometimes, so I wondered if anyone had insight on that.

For example, people know that Mayo is about interesting people much more than stats. They like stories and life experience and such.

Does anyone have any info like that on Emory? They seem more enigmatic than some others somehow.

If it hasn't come through this year (or any year's) school specific thread, their website, or anything you've heard from friends/advisors then it's probably not there. Based on my experiences, the one thing that set them apart from other schools in terms of admissions is that it appears very important to them that you would be comfortable working at Grady.

II! Complete 9/2, thought I was passed over so that was a nice suprise. OOS if it matters

 

[ilnt15]

II

 

[medcards]

II yesterday as well. I'm withdrawing my app here, so hopefully it will open up a slot for someone. Dates left are 1/15, 1/22, 1/25, 1/29, and 2/1; interview day from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

 

[seatown93]

Has anyone been checking their portal today?

 

[babybluepremed]

As an Atlanta Native I was shocked on outsider views of Atlanta. My friends in LA think Atlanta is "country". Atlanta is an extremely liberal city with many things to do. The city of Atlanta is much different than the rest of Georgia. Unfortunately, the sprawl (similar to LA and other sun belt cities) create a great deal of traffic. Personally, I think the weather here during school time (fall to spring) is much more appealing than that of the northeast.

 

[cherubb3]

Today is an acceptance day! I checked my packet. Good luck everyone!

I grew up in LA and I was amazed at how bad the traffic is in Atlanta!

Interviewed early October and was getting worried because I'm a bit of an underdog (3.2 GPA, 22 MCAT) but I can't wait to meet all of you awesome people!

[KingKunta]

22 MCAT?!? Are you f**king kidding me?

Yes my stats are below average for this school and it was definitely a reach but i'm pretty sure i nailed my interview
