What impressed you positively?

The school is in constant flux. True, the facilities are not state of the art, but rennovations are completely underway for many of the facilities, such as the interactive learning center. The curriculum is not static, in that, it is constantly evolving and improving. Mrs.Sullivans speech will definately give you the best picture as to if GU-SOM is or is not meant for you. The students seemed genuinely happy about their decision. THe city of DC is spectacular. There is so much to do. Overall, I loved this place and it is definitely my #1 school of choice.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the other students. One actually fell asleep while the dean was talking. Not good for the applicant and definately not good for a possible future physician.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You spend the majority of your time in the "fish-bowl." SO, sit in the chair and not the bench. Im glad I sat in the chair because those benches would have done a number on my back and could have made my interview later in the day difficult.
