The admissions woman who intro'd the school and process was horrible. She had the biggest chip on her shoulder about Georgetown not being ranked as well as it should supposedly be.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why medicine now? If you're a non-traditional candidate, you'll get this question everywhere.

What was the most interesting question?

What do you want your legacy in medicine to be?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over application, school web site

What was the most difficult question?

What compromises do you think you would have to make to come to a school like Georgetown?

What impressed you positively?

My interviewer was a great liberal, which was relieving after the woman from admissions made me think this was not a place for people with change in mind.

What impressed you negatively?

Students also seemed really unhappy. They tried to put on a good face, but it was like, "well, what do you expect, it's medical school."

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Their commitment to social justice isn't just a smoke screen. My interviewer was really involved in changing health care delivery for the underserved.
