✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practiced briefly for stock questions. Hot bath the night before the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities, the congeniality of the staff and students, and the classrooms. Did I mention the shiny new hospital and the entire floor dedicated to student clinical skills?

What impressed you negatively?

I wish we could have seen more of said shiny new hospital, but otherwise, nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That when they say the GW interview process is stress-free, they really mean it. They try very hard to make you at ease and they're very enthusiastic.

What are your general comments?

Information session, video, lunch (nice boxed with fruit and salad). Then student interview, followed by waiting/chatting and then professor interview. The student interview was very low-key, the professor interview somewhat stiff and definitely standard questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
