@collegemom9 I am stealing a link from a prior year post by Biff Brown which mentions Emory and interviews among the alumni interview process. The interviews matter, but maybe more to clearing up close calls among candidates.

I like this one better in the AJC. It’s written by a Penn alumni, but I think it’s similar.
Yes, I am an alumni (an old alumni, but still an alumni) and somewhat involved in EAA events in my area. Emory’s application process is holistic and everything counts.
