Looked at this website, read over application, read school's website.

The facilities - GWU has a new hospital in which some of the teaching areas are located, such as rooms in which standardized patients are seen and the SIM man.

Faculty were incredibly
What impressed you negatively?
*The students did not seem to be happy here. One outright told us that she went to GW because she didn't get in anywhere else. Other students and even one of the admissions staff members that spoke to us seemed very apathetic about the school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Research opportunities are sought on your own. The school's focus is very much on primary care.
