I have had interviews at Case Cleveland and Emory. At Case some of the questions where:
Why AA? y not medical school, if you're switching careers be prepared to explain your switch. Why Case Western (especially if youre from another area that has a program) What will you do if you don't get in. What are you're strengths/weaknesses. Have questions prepared for the interviewers even if you already know the answers.Not really any unexpected questions, I made sure to have ways to explain anything in my application that looked question worthy, but I didn't get anything unexpected. Other interviewers did occasionally leave an interview session looking slightly flustered but i'm not sure what they were asked...They did ask basic questions like what led you along the path to AA? how did you hear about Case etc.The format at Case is 5 separate interviews with different Case administration (and one student chief) each one lasts around 20 minutes. There is alot of repetition amongst the interviewers but they all have different personalities so it is always different. There is a tour given by 1st years in the morning and later of the offsite simulation room with Dave Zigorski. There was lunch with the 1st years, more interviews and then video presentations by the heads of Case D.C and Case Houston.
Emory:
It really wasn't the stressful situation everyone made it out to be. It was a panel of 4 interviewers including the program directors, alumni, and a clinical head. I was with two other people besides me and our different backgrounds and knowledge about things really controlled the flavor and the tempo of the interview. I can imagine that everyone will get the basic "Tell me a little bit about yourself" etc. but the general conversation just flowed. There where no crazy random science questions although others have reported them. They did present some clinical situations and asked us how we would respond to them. They just want to get a sense of how you think, they are not expecting you to have technical knowledge.
Ok I hope this is helpful. Good Luck everyone!!
