⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Negatively ☹️

What was the stress level of the interview?

7 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

interviewer was very impersonal, almost rude. before the interviews, an admissions officer informs you who your interviewer is, what type of interviewer they are, etc. she told me that my interviewer was "very nice" which i took to be a bad thing since that's all she could find to say about this person. anyway the interviewer was not very nice at all. when she asked me if i had any questions, of course i had several but i gave up after 2 because all she could give me were one-word answers and awkward stares. overall she made it very uncomfortable and almost impossible to say anything intelligible. i had really been looking forward to my visit, but in the end, i was disappointed that i had taken off a day of work to be there.
💬 Interview Process

What was the most interesting question?

hardly an interesting question, more odd than anything. but she asked "So, you love your grandmother?" which was such an odd way to bring up a conversation about what i thought would be important qualities in a doctor, what type of doctor i would want for my loved ones.

What impressed you positively?

a really great presentation about georgetown's ideals and overall mission.

What impressed you negatively?

lots of people talking at you all morning, often repeating what the person before them said. interviews were in the afternoon after a very long day.
