Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The GW hospital (opened in 2002), the clinical skills facility, the supportive faculty, the rec center (I checked it out on my own time, it's really nice!), the students seemed very diverse, the tracks program seems like a great new thing they offer- you can "minor" in one of six interesting topics in medicine

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the whole med school is only one building and it's seems a little old, the med school library is not great, tuition is ridiculously expensive and they didn't really talk much about financial aid (at other schools there has been more of an effort to explain financial aid opportunities to students)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

We didn't get to speak with any third or fourth year students, and only one second year student showed up to talk with us.

What are your general comments?

Most of the day took place in a large conference room. One of the deans came in to talk with us, and she seemed really friendly and excited about the school. The whole day was guided by the interview coordinator, who was very informative and professional. He took us on a tour of the hospital, which really impressed me. Afterwards we eat lunch and about 10 med students, mostly first years, came in to talk with us about the school. However, the interview coordinator stayed in the room the whole time so I'm not sure if he was there to make sure the students didn't say anything negative about the school or what. Afterwards, we were called out one by one to interview with a students and then a faculty member. The interviews were very relaxed and conversational. Then we had a presentation from a member of the office for student opportunities, and that was it.
