Emory early admission interview

Did they change the dates? I have Nov 8-9 in my calendar but today I looked at the site and it says 13th and 27th...am I going crazy? Maybe this is a good sign for those still waiting to hear about interviews.

They already sent out invites? When did you get yours?

I haven't gotten one yet, but I keep obsessively checking this site to see if anyone else talks about getting one since I don't know any actual people who are applying to AA schools. As long as other people haven't gotten invitations yet I don't feel too worried. I wonder if Nov 8-9 was last year's dates and I just checked before they updated the site.

Congrats Sarah! Do you mind sharing your stats?

Hey guys,

I just got my interview invitation for Emory early interviews. The options as Sarah stated are for select times on the 13th and 27th of November.

Base stats are 4.0 Science GPA and 260 MCAT

I hope all of this helps!

@ Samm...dude you have a interview invite from EVERY possible AA school. Are you planning on going to all the interviews? or do you have a preference after which you are not gonna consider other schools?

I am planning on going to all of the interviews. I really don't have a preference yet. I plan on going into each interview like an undecided voter(just watched the debate) and weighing my options from what I see and hear. I did apply to Case in DC for a reason though.

The biggest thing for me to find out during my interviews is the number of clinical rotation options and with those rotations how many are in sectors of job growth for AA's. Cost, location, students, and teachers also matter, but the number one for me is a job after my schooling so I can finally work in the field I've strived hard to get into!

I also love traveling and meeting new people so interviews give me an excuse to get a break from work. If any of you out there have interviews at South, Case in DC, or Emory I would love to get a pre-interview dinner meet-up thing going on if possible. If anyone is interested PM me!

While I've received interviews from the big 3 I didn't get one from Nova surprisingly. Apparently my lack of a chem 1 lab (even though I have credit on my transcript for one) makes me an ineligible and inferior candidate for their admissions process.

Anyway, besides my Nova experience, I've been incredibly lucky. I still have to get past the hardest part though...the interview! lol I've started some of my interview preparations the last few days. Does anyone have any knowledge of the interviews at each school other than whats posted on these boards?

Best of luck to everyone else out there!

I'll be at South on December 1st, haven't decided on my Emory date yet. What are you doing as part of your "interview preparations"? I was planning on mostly brushing up on basic sciences and practicing my typical "tell us about yourself," "why AA" kind of answers, but any other ideas or insights might be helpful.

I received my invite today as well. Congrats to all the rest! I chose the 27th as Case scheduled their interviews for the 14th. Anybody else choosing that date?

I chose the 27th too, but only because it was the only date left by the time I selected it lol.

Sam, with your stats I can't imagine Nova would overlook you. I don't think they have even started their interview invites yet. Even if they have, they go all the way up till early march. I applied to Nova as well and still waiting to hear from them.
And what did you mean by lacking one lab but having credit for it on your transcript?

Congrats and best of luck to everyone.
Like SarahK mentioned, I'm also practicing "why AA" and "tell me about yourself" type of questions.
If anyone get any further info about the interview process/questions please post it here too!

A while back someone listed the following as the questions presented at his Emory interview:

Tell us a little about yourself.

Why/How Anesthesia/AA?

What personality trait do you think is most important for an AA?

What about being an AA is NOT appealing/a downside of the job?

(They give you an article to read beforehand)
Tell us what you think about the article.

Those are helpful. Other people have also mentioned ethics questions, which I feel ok about. What worries me most are the science questions I've heard about. I've been out of school for a while, I wonder how detailed they tend to be.

Does anyone know if you can see your scheduled interview time after scheduling through their google calendar? I'm a bit high strung and wanted to double check my interview time even though I already have it in my personal calendar. lol

And just to make sure, no one received a confirmation after scheduling their interview right?

I think as long as you can see it in your own google calendar, it's good. I don't think I got a confirmation either.
