If anyone else is applying to the MD/MPH program could you tell us if their prompt is also the same as last year's?

In the secondary in the course requirements section when it says to list the course number only does it literally mean only course number or course prefix and number?? In some sections two of my courses have the same course number and I want to make sure I am designating them correctly.

I did course prefix and number to avoid any confusion. That is how it was on the primary as well iirc.

 

[white_hydro_flask]

I am confused. On the Program Select Section, If I am only applying to MD ONLY, do I still need to complete the MD/MPH and MD/MA in Bioethics essay prompts?

You shouldn't have to. I selected "MD Only" and did not have any additional prompts displayed. If yours are displaying even if you checked that, are you on mobile? Seems that was an issue with last cycle's applications. If that is the case, try doing it on a computer and see if that fixes the prompts being displayed.

 

[white_hydro_flask]

It seems like this problem only happens on Safari on Mac. I switched to Google Chrome and that seemed to resolve the issue.

For the prompt asking about our entire curriculum plan, do you think we should just list the courses we're taking in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 and leave it at that?

If I mention a new gap year experience I started since submitting the primary in #1, do I need to repeat it in #5? How are most people using the space in #5? Could it be for an adversity or diversity essay?

I would probably not use it as such because it is only asking for updates or new information. I'm currently one year into my two planned gap years and I'm just continuing all the same activities I described in #1, so I didn't answer #5 at all.

For MD-PhDs, how much detail are you including for the research experience question? They give us 2000 words, but this seems to be the exact same content as the significant research essay.

Is there an acronym for Emory University School of Medicine? Should we just say Emory?

Does anyone know how receptive Emory is to reapplicants? I interviewed here last here and didn't get in. I made some improvements to my secondary, though some sentences stayed the same so I was wondering if I could keep my hopes up for this school. Any data/anecdotal evidence would be greatly appreciated!

For Emory's humanities/social sciences requirement, do foreign languages count? I took a **** ton of language classes so hoping I could include those into the hefty 18 hour requirement they have

I assumed so and used mine. I also did a ton of language class as my humanities...

same question, any insight anyone?

 

[alittlebit97]

I would probably use 5 to give an AMCAS W/A description - hours, responsibilities, etc

 

[deleted1120105]

what if I gave a description in the first question? Would it be a bad idea to go an entirely different route and put a diversity essay in there?

How would that fit the prompt for 5?

Do I need to wear a suit and tie for the profile picture? Can anyone comment

Better to be on the safe side and wear it.

 

[flyon_littlewing9587]

I definitely would. Wear what you would wear to a interview.

 

[deleted1139574]

You think I could wear a suit and then take a selfie

 

[flyon_littlewing9587]

No I wouldn’t do that. Just have a friend take a photo for you!

 

[deleted1139574]

Hmm, good point...

 

[deleted1140762]

Would it be okay to list healthcare experiences with dates and a brief description? Or would I be better off trying to fit everything in an essay form?

I went ahead and wrote it essay style. A list might seem a bit too simple and lack insight.
