SDN. GW websight.

Brand new university hospital is great. DC is fabulous.

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition. The school seems a little arrogant without really excelling in any one area.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my student interviewer was going to act like a hard ass.

What are your general comments?

Get there around 9. Meet admissions guy and dean of student affairs. Take a tour of facilities. Lunch. Student interview. Basically, this person wasn't cool at all. They acted like my reasons for GW were wrong and that my interest in becoming a practicing clinician was unremarkable. Then had a faculty interiew. This person was genuine and very interested in who I was. I felt like this interview really gave me an opportunity to represent myself. Then some finacial stuff.
