No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, looked over georgetown website, healthpolitics.com

What impressed you positively?

focus on treating entire person, learning about ethis and religious aspects of medicine, and learning about alternative medical treatments (herbal meds, accupuncture, etc)

What impressed you negatively?

tour guides said they like GU but didn't seem too enthusiastic, and they kept getting lost; people around campus didn't seem very friendly; very expensive but don't get much for the price (facilities, technology use, etc)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

not a lot of time to ask questions, most of the day is spent having people talk to you; don't get to meet any other students than the one who gives the tour (are all the other students completely unhappy there so they try to hide them??)

What are your general comments?

My interview was very relaxed and conversational. No really stressful questions. He looked over my file (just extracurriculars and personal statement) before asking me questions. The hardest part of the interview was finding the building it was in. I asked some students on campus if they could point me in the right direction and they had no idea where the building was.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
