How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, Georgetown's website, talked to a Georgetown med student, read about managed care

What impressed you positively?

The organization of the day. Everyone is really nice and goes out of their way to make you feel welcome.

What impressed you negatively?

It was colder than I would have liked it, but I'll have to learn to deal with it. It is more expensive to live in D.C. but seeing as how I am going to go into tens of thousands of dollars of debt, the high price of rent is just going to be a drop in the bucket.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there was a free bus that I could have taken to the school instead of a 10 dollar cab.

What are your general comments?

I had a great day at Georgetown and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved the school and its cura personalis philosophy. D.C. would be an amazing place to live for the next four years.
