donna's talk was amazing. she told me exactly what g'town was and was not. she clearly defines the focus of the curriculum and clinical experiences.

the tour was not well-organized, but the tour guides were a great resource for all of my questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the interview was strictly used to learn about non-cognitive abilities and interests and much less stressful than I thought.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

My interviewer read over my file for a few minutes before calling me in to talk with him. He was friendly and started off the interview with a comment about UT football (because UT just beat his favorite team Georgia the week before) and some other questions about where I was from. This really loosened me up and put me at ease. He then told me what he thought G'town had to offer me. From there he asked me about my motivation for entering medicine, and things progressed from there. Very conversational and laid-back.
