💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How are you different from your best friend and how does this explain why you want to go to med school and she wants to go to law school?
What was the most interesting question?
ethical scenario ... if your handwriting was so bad and the wrong prescription was prescribed to a patient, what would you do? how would you feel if you were the patient?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, Georgetown's website, talked to a Georgetown med student, read about managed care
What was the most difficult question?
How are you different from your best friend and how does this explain why you want to go to med school and she wants to go to law school?
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.
