What are your general comments?

The interview is very low-stress. My student interviewer really kept me on my toes, but the faculty interviewer just rushed me through. GW is nice for its emphasis on clinical care, but the price is nearly prohibitive for those hoping to actually go into primary care type residencies.

What impressed you positively?

My student interviewers resume. WOW! She was involved in everything from student reform to political causes. She is the kind of student who really draws others into the school because of the fine example of dedication.

What impressed you negatively?

My second interviewer was late, actually never came so I was interviewed by a psychologist who says : okay lets make this quick, I am running late. OUCH! He was polite but made me rush through as though it is a "been there done that" type of experience for him.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The curriculum is very traditional and allows little free time your first two years. THe price...$$$$$
