How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

AMCAS, SDN, primary/secondary apps, health policy books and articles, GW website and their mission

What impressed you positively?

great great teaching hospital, everything's really technologically advanced and new - very well-kept school (they have simulation patients, the DaVinci robot, patient interviewing rooms), students seem pretty happy, good area

What impressed you negatively?

Washington D.C. as a whole seems really uptight and super conservative, coming from Los Angeles, this was sort of like a culture shock...like going from some culture to none... (apologies to you D.C-ers), also, very little diversity as opposed to what I am used to

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that I wouldn't like Washington D.C. so why bother to spend so much money to fly here, to be relaxed! the interview was so conversational

What are your general comments?

I was super-stressed out, so I basically turned a very relaxed interview into one that was filled with fumbling jibberish, overall, ok school but wouldn't come here (weather was great though)
