What are your general comments?
You can either be interviewed by a 4th year med student, a professor, or a physician. I was interviewed by Dr. Vicinni of physiology. All the interviewers I met were extremely nice and Dr. Vicinni was no exception. The interview was really straight forward asking me about my experiences and what I thought were major problems in healthcare. Afterwards he told me that he thought I was an "exceptional candidate" so I can't really complain about him :).

What impressed you positively?
I dare you to find one person during your interview day who is not the nicest person you ever met. Also, DC is just awesome. Mrs. Sullivan's speech was great, very informative and gave me the tools to have more efficient future interviews. After meeting her, I think everyone who spoke poorly of her here is insane. Meet her yourself, you'll see.
What impressed you negatively?
Our student guides. They both attended gtown 'cause it was the only school they were admitted to and they didn't seem to be the most articulate. It makes me wonder about the caliber of the rest of the student body.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
No food or coffee was served before lunch so eat breakfast!
