What impressed you positively?

Hospital is nice, the students are friendly, Lots of international health/research/policy opportunities and an office that helps students find the right one to pursue. Also, very convenient public transportation.

What impressed you negatively?

The GW campus as a whole is pretty utilitarian as is the medical school building itself

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I've enjoyed a number of visits to DC, but the area around GWU really isn't that great as compared with the rest of the city.

What are your general comments?

The interview with a med student was very good, as he was very friendly and seemed truly interested in being part of the admissions process. The "faculty" interview was with an alumnus who isn't actually on the faculty. It was nice that he wanted to "give back" to the school, but he also checked his voice mail in the middle of my interview, which amused me because it perfectly fit his self-important mannner, but in retrospect, I found this very rude, especially in light of all the work that applicants have to do just to get an interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
