How did you prepare for the interview?

I went thru the school website and made sure I knew about the features of the school and its program that I was most interested in, SDN, my AMCAS and secondary, talked to a friend who has interviewed their 2 yrs ago

What impressed you positively?

GW has really amazing facilities--a great Peds hospital, an excellent simulation lab (where first yrs get to spend regular hrs practicing--unlike many schools with a sim lab where you spend only a few hrs there in your whole first yr), they have an excellent new track program that allows you to focus your medical education on a particular area that interests you (i.e. global health), b/c of it's location there are countless opportunities open to you to get involved with community activities (medical, political, etc.), the interviewers were very relaxed and just wanted to get to know you, and the students we spoke with seemed very down-to-earth and were very enthusiastic about their reasons for having chosen GW (they seemed like people I would feel comfortable having as my peers)

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. Just relax, there is seriously nothing to be nervous about. Just make sure you know why you feel you are a good fit for GW and why GW is a good fit for you.

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed everything about my visit to GW. Everyone we met that day was very nice and I felt very comfortble. They made a strong effort to give us a good feel for all aspects of a medical education at GW (classes, elective options, financing).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
