"Briefly discuss (in approximately 100 words) any special interests attracting you to Emory."

Is this a standard tell me why you want to go to Emory question, or is it asking if you have connections to the university, or something esle?

It is just a standard question asking you why you want to attend Emory.

I submitted yesterday and mailed off the photo, etc a few days before....now more waiting!!!!

Just so everyone knows though--on the bit where they ask you to check off the requirements you've met and to explain the ones you haven't, Emory SOM DOES count writing courses as "English" courses, even if they weren't taught by an English department. This was an issue for me coming from Emory because I APd out of the required freshman english classes but then fulfilled the requirement for writing-intensive classes with the "WR" label through other departments. This may be helpful to anyone else applying from Emory or from a school with a similar system!

Maybe this e-mail will exchange help others also:

Me: I would like to find out if Advanced Placement credits and Pass/Fail (Pass) credits are acceptable toward the 6 hours of English courses and 18 hours of Humanities and Social/Behavioral Sciences courses required for admission to the M.D. program.

Emory: Courses that appear on your college transcript will count towards the appropriate course requirements.

- Good to know about the "W"-classified writing-intensive courses being okay, as well. We had that at my school too. Thanks, bidster! -

I know Emory's website doesn't give you much to go off of for "Why Emory?" But their viewbook (which is online) is pretty good and may give you more info...

good luck to you guys. i shadowed some resident and med student teams at Grady, the biggest of the 3 Emory affiliated hospitals (and by far the biggest). it was really exciting and seems like a great place to train.
