What was the most interesting question?

Tell me about yourself - my interviewer preferred a totally closed file interview, so that question took about half the interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Pretentious, pretty sad medical facilities, melodramatic admissions presentation.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Georgetown's financial problems - their hospital system has had a lot of cutbacks and in my opinion, is not a place I'd want to be.

What are your general comments?

The interview day started with a rousing monologue about Cura Personalis and the Georgetown philosophy by Mrs. Sullivan. In my opinion, it seemed a tad contrived. The financial aid presentation was sobering, as all probably are. The tour was given be a very competent 2nd year student. I was a little disappointed by the facilities - truthfully, they do a lot of liver transplants, but with the large number of hospitals in DC, most tertiary needs are referred on to other hospitals. Consider this as well: Georgetown is somewhat set apart from DC proper, so their patient population is limited, and when students go into DC for rotations, they may compete with Howard and GW students for spots in subspecialties. My interview was completely closed file, and started with ''tell me about yourself'' question. The interview was fine, but like the admissions presentation, I was turned off that my interviewer seemed so intent making sure I knew medical school was going to break me. He also scoffed at my humanities background, and literally said ''medicine isn't philosophy and I don't care what you've accomplished, medical school will be the hardest thing you've ever done.'' I found it pretentious, especially coming from someone who hadn't even read my file. I hate to sound negative, but my interview day made me realize Georgetown isn't for me, which is fine.
