I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

read over my application and research, read "Becoming a Physician" by Danek.

What impressed you positively?

G-town's dedication to producing competent, practicing physicians, and not academic physicians

What impressed you negatively?

they interview too many people, and this fact permeates some of their admissions process: ie, closed file interviews, they have had problems with interviewers not paying full attention to interviewees or cutting out early (my interviewer glanced at his watch). The facilities are very unimpressive (many classrooms are on the basement level). HUGE financial problems at G-town...that's why they ask you to submit a credit report...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I don't want to go there.
