How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website

What impressed you positively?

The interview day was very relaxed and well organized. The facilities are pretty amazing and the students were enthusiastic/informative when we had lunch with them.

What impressed you negatively?

The statistic that the average GW Med student leaves with close to $160K of debt.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

2 interviews: 1 student, 1 faculty. Both were very conversational and laidback. It was a little odd, because my student interviewer asked me the standard questions you would expect to get from a faculty interviewer (e.g., why medicine, why GW, which specialty, tell me about US healthcare issues...) while my faculty interviewer just chatted with me about my experiences/ECs.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
