What are your general comments?

Georgetown was a wonderful place but, as they told us upfront, it might not be for everyone. If you don't want to do community volunteering or thoroughly explore religious and ethical tenets in medicine, this won't be your cup of tea. The interview was EXTREMELY relaxed - it was definitely a conversation more than an interview. Everyone who is there (facutly, staff, students alike) all seem to love it.

Interview questions they asked

See above, although most questions merely came from what we were previously talking about. Nothing caught me off guard.

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

What books are you currently reading?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

What is the most important issue facing the health care industry today?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my application, read the G'town website, read interview feedbacks

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and students are very dedicated to healing of the whole patient so they consider a certain amount of spirituality in the education. The residency placement statistics were outstanding.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't realize that the school had fallen out of the U.S. News Top 50 (not that rankings always matter). The cost of living in Washington is quite high.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Georgetown places emphasis on clinical training early and often. Their third year is almost a "pre-residency" training period with some pretty ridiculous horus.
