II just now for a date about 2 weeks from now!! Got a date that isn't great for my schedule but still super excited! I was complete in June so there's definitely still hope for those of you who applied early and still haven't heard back.

Hi, congrats on your II. Does Emory allow you to choose interview dates or do they just arrange it?
 
I know there were a few posts about this earlier in the thread but could anyone who's interviewed here (this year or past) talk in a little more detail about the experience? Are the interviews "blind" or have they read your app? Do they focus on asking about aspects of your app? Do they focus on standardized interview questions like ethical dilemmas or catch-all questions (e.g. talk about a time you failed)? Do they focus on asking about current events like the ACA? Also, the thing I'm most interested in is what the group interview is like, I've never had a group interview and don't really know what to expect. Thank you!

I'm a bit confused by Emory's silence towards me frankly, haha. I grew up in Georgia, visited Emory several times growing up, and my dad gets a chronic condition treated there. Thought I had a good connection to the school. You never know with med school admissions!
 
Did anyone who reported interested in the dual M.D./M.A. in Bioethics on the secondary get an email from the graduate program asking for an additional personal statement, essay, and LOR? I was under the impression that you could decide to applying after matriculating. Is that still an option? Or do I have to simultaneously apply while hearing back from the school of medicine?

Yep, I got that as well. To my understanding at least, since the email made a point to clarify that the two admissions decisions were completely separate, students can still apply for the MA well after med school matriculation (which is what their website says). I think it was just providing the application information so students that were already strongly interested could kinda get a jump on the process by applying now.

Of course, that's with the caveat that all that is just my take. I haven't spoken with anyone who actually knows anything about it. I would imagine a call to the admissions office to clarify couldn't hurt though.
 
@chm9332 People with a wide range of stats, as indicated on the MSAR, receive acceptances.

Honestly, I'd recommend staying off school specific forums unless you have a specific question. Seeing people get II when your inbox is empty is excruciating and serves no positive purpose.
 
Anyone get the "admission offer" tab pop up on their portal? Does this mean we're accepted? Haven't received snail mail yet...

Echo, to clarify, did you get the new tab in your portal?

Yeah there's now an "admission offer" tab that wasn't there yesterday. It says it's only valid for those who have received an acceptance letter via snail mail, so my guess is that they put that blurb there just in case they accidentally open that tab for ppl they weren't intending on accepting? Just a guess tho
 
Also got a new tab!! But I don't want to get my hopes up because no snail mail received!

I think it would be such a dream crusher for someone to get this tab and not have been accepted though...hopefully that's not the case!

Edit: snail mail received!!

When I interviewed, they said they will mail on the dates listed, and it may take 3-4 days to arrive.
 
I am looking at last year's thread, and it seems that people with "admissions offer" in the portal got accepted! But some people's portals did not update until after they received their mail.
 
Letter is dated 10/21? I'm sure yours is on its way! No way they would update the portal for people who don't hear good news - that would be too much

Yeah admissions said they mailed out letters on friday 10/21. Seems like this was also the case for last year's october acceptance letters
 
Received snail mail acceptance today! I also have a new tab in my portal. The letter is postmarked Oct 22nd. Interviewed 9/12.

Good luck everyone!
 
Anyone know (maybe from past years) if the portals for accepted candidates all change at once? Or could some change tomorrow?

Congratulations to all of the acceptees! I hope you take the time to celebrate. You have a spot at a fantastic school.

If you did not receive an acceptance this round, don't fret too much. You truly will be reevaluated at subsequent meetings. There are plenty of students who were admitted in later rounds. It's not over.
