I actually work at Emory right now...I have been working here since last February and did decide to come here because I knew back then that I would love to go to school here. I thought that all of the students that I met were really nice, although they were pretty stressed because they had a huge exam (I think they called them periods) coming up and they were pretty preoccupied with studying. To me, curriculum isn't one of the things that I really emphasize when I am asked why I want to go to a particular school. The most important thing to me is location and I really love Atlanta. It is so pretty right now because of all of the changing colors. I lived in Florida for 23 of my 24 years and I never got to see these changes. Plus, the climate is just right for me...I am not much of a cold climate gal. As for my interviews, I really enjoyed the panel interview, my interviewers were incredibly nice and comforting and I really feel like I gave them a good impression of myself. I couldn't really gauge anything from my personal interview so I came out not really knowing if it went well, although I knew that at one point I flubbed up my description of what one of my coworkers is working on. When I left the interview, this really bugged me but I felt there was nothing I could do about it anyway. I was actually going to go to my lab and do some work but decided against it and started heading to my car. Strangely enough, I saw my interviewer passing the street up ahead. He passed me, said Good Luck, and I just blurted out that I wanted to correct what I had flubbed up (since I had since realized what went wrong in my thinking). He accepted it and then told me that he was mainly looking at how I was answering the question. Then he told me that I did a good job and gave me a small smile. So I really don't know what to expect this next week! But doncoz2000, don't give up hope if you don't hear anything because they send out letters once a month and your file (if you haven't already been accepted) comes up for review each time they meet (so I understand) so even if you don't hear anything this next week that doesn't mean that you won't hear next month!
