No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback, went through Georgetown's website, and reviewed my secondary essay.

What impressed you positively?

The unique mission of Georgetown and the entire campus.

What impressed you negatively?

One dean gave a slightly uncomfortable, almost demanding introduction to the school's curriculum. This was the only negative part of the day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The great opportunities for early clinical experiences that Georgetown offers and how important this aspect is to their curriculum. Better than all other schools I have looked at.

What are your general comments?

The day was very low stress overall. Some waiting in the "fish bowl", especially if you have the later afternoon interview. Wonderful school with a different, but good curriculum for students. Best of luck to everyone!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
