What are your general comments?
First interview was with a student, basically typical questions (why gwu, what are your strengths, weaknesses, blah blah). She seemed nice and a little nervous.
Second interview, with faculty, lasted much longer than the 25 min it was supposed to, more of a conversation than an interview, talked about my undergrad research (history, not medical), future of medicine, student debt, a very meandering friendly conversation.

What impressed you positively?
The people.
What impressed you negatively?
It didn't really seem like we saw very much (just sim lab, the library, the classrooms), but this is my first tour, so maybe there just isn't much to see. Lunch was pretty bad (soggy wraps).
It was a little difficult to get information about clinical years.
