Interview Day Overview
Applicants who are selected for an interview will be notified by email. (Please be sure to keep your email up to date in AMCAS.) The Interview Season will begin in September and end in February. The Interview Day will include a welcome session with the Dean and Associate Director of Admissions, two interviews (a group interview and a one-on-one interview), and the opportunity to speak with current medical students, faculty and Admissions staff. A meeting with the Office of Multicultural Affairs and a virtual visit with a current Emory medical student are both available upon request. Applicants to the MD/MPH and MD/MA in Bioethics Programs will also meet with a representative of the Rollins School of Public Health or the Emory Center for Ethics, respectively, on their Interview Day.
Interview Invite Timeline
Most schools begin sending invitations September–October on a rolling basis. Earlier is better — submit your primary early. Schools with rolling admissions fill seats throughout the cycle, so late applicants face a more competitive pool for fewer spots.
