How did you prepare for the interview?

Went to a few interviews before this one, read the GW website, read SDN

What impressed you positively?

DC is awesome, and so is the area around GW, very metro accessible

What impressed you negatively?

The students didn't seem all that satisfied with their school. I asked a bunch why they chose to go there and they either only got in there or they chose it because of DC.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there were going to be 20 other people interviewing with me.

What are your general comments?

We arrived at 10am and were done by 2. Had a tour of the hospital, brief talk about curriculum and lunch. I had two interviews, one with a second year med student and one with a professor. The professor was very...pompous and asked a lot of healthcare questions and then spent 20 minutes lecturing me on how medicine is a business and I shouldn't think of doctors as bad people if they don't take medicare. The student interview was really relaxed though, almost too relaxed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
