What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

a few "non-threatening" questions about ethics: end of life, patient autonomy, etc.
questions about decision to pursue medicine and medical experiences. (standard)

Question about end-of-life decisions. As a physician, would I allow a patient to do something (i.e., stop a medication) that might slightly hasten his/her already iminent death?

There basically no taxing questions - the above question was probably the most difficult.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on school's philosophy. Not much else aside from reading feedback here.

What impressed you positively?

location; very firm dedication to turning out well-rounded physicians; the fact that georgetown tries hard to provide its students with unique experiences; students place extremely well in residency programs

What impressed you negatively?

facilities were shoddy (albeit they are being improved); research emphasis/opportunites seems very sparse

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing i can think of.

What are your general comments?

I've been on about 8 other interviews and I think that this was the fairest and most appropriate one. My interviewer was very pleasant and I felt very comfortable. During the interview, she really gave me every opportunity to elaborate on my answers and I felt that I really had the chance to portray myself and my potential as a physician. The schools is in a great area and students coming out of GUSOM are incredibly successful in all fields. GU has a really great approach to teaching medicine and I wholely agree with their train of thought that it's important for med students to experience all realms of medicine. The students may face a very strenuous 4 years, but it's obviously a benefit in the long run.
