This website, GWU website, practice interviews, research on health care and current issues

What impressed you positively?

The new hospital, SIM Man, and the new labs. Their facilities are very nice and everyone was very friendly. The students all seemed happy to be there and they said that it is not a very competitive environment.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost! Also, they don't have designated student housing, students are pretty much on their own.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would need a lot of time to explore the city after my interviews. I left pretty soon after the day was over.

What are your general comments?

The day is very organized and they give a presentation and a tour before your interviews. The interviewers come and get you from the room for your interviews, and by then you have had time to relax and get to know the school. My first interview was with a faculty member, he asked all of the typical questions and seemed to be following an outline. He was very encouraging. My second interview was with a student. It was more a conversational and she really just wanted to get to know me. I always liked GWU, but now I love it!!
