💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing really. Just standard questions.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Georgetown Website

What was the most difficult question?

Have you ever been in a situation where you had to make an ethical decision?

What impressed you positively?

The school really cares about the individual student and the community. They stress compassion and volunteerism. All the students I met also seemed really happy there.

What impressed you negatively?

There was only about 1/2 hour put aside for the student tour. I barely got to see the campus or the hospital. I only viewed the basement where most of the classes took place.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was told that out of each interview round, they only accepted 15 out of 75 applicants. I was a little turned off by this because since I had such an early interview, many of the candidates in my group were exceptional. I would hope that Georgetown chooses people based on their backgrounds and not because they have a set number they abide by. Also, my interview was closed file. Since I do have varying experiences, I was hoping that my interviewer would have asked more in depth questions to get to know me and get a feel for my motivations. Instead, I found myself volunteering a lot of my information.
