What are your general comments?
I may be biased because this has been my first choice school all during the process. The students all had great things to say about the school and were able to answer all of our questions. My interview was one-on-one, closed file, with a doctor who graduated from Georgetwon and now works at an affiliated hospital. It was nice to have the opportunity to ask her questions about the school. Make sure that you leave some time to explore DC.
