How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

It was very laid back. It was most of the applicants' first interview and everyone was extremely nice and it was the best group of applicants I've been with so far (after GW and 3 other schools).
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself. (since it's closed, this was kind of hard to answer)

What was the most interesting question?

Have you been in a situation that was an ethical dilemma?

How did you prepare for the interview?

this site, looked over my applications, looked at the school website

What was the most difficult question?

Do you identify with (the main character of a book I mentioned)?

What impressed you positively?

the students took a lot of time out to come talk to us about the school, the new facilities in the hospital for med students, the relaxed and cooperative atmosphere

What impressed you negatively?

the cost of living and difficulties that come with going to school in the middle of a big city: you have to live far away, there isn't much of a campus, etc.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had pretty negative impressions of GW, so I gave it less credit than I should have.
