How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website

What impressed you positively?

The neighborhood of Georgetown itself; Mrs. Sullivan's openness about what Gtown is and is not looking for

What impressed you negatively?

The students did not seem terribly enthusiastic about their school. They said they liked it - but weren't all that convincing - and had so-so things to say about their professors. There is no mannequin for heart/lung sounds (almost all schools have these) and no microscopes for histology. The curriculum is not organ based, it is by subject. AND, there are crucifixes everywhere - in all lecture halls and hospital rooms -- I'm not such a fan of this.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The details listed above.

What are your general comments?

The experience was a positive one in that everyone was nice, open and inviting. However, I discovered a lot of drawbacks to Georgetown that I was not aware of before (see negative impressions section of feedback).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
