What are your general comments?
I came away feeling incredible about the school, the students, and the faculty. What a wonderful, wonderful place. The facilities are somewhat older, nevertheless, they still have a certain appeal to them.
I love the Jesuit aspect of the school, the program is engaging and seemed well fit to the environs of DC (e.g., health advocacy opportunities, some on capitol hill as I understood).
Don't let the rankings sway you. Although G-Town is ranked "very high," some people may choose a higher ranked school, solely on this factor alone.
Georgetown has incredible residency placements, and rankings are based on many factors that do not translate to the quality of the medical school experience.
