How did you prepare for the interview?

Read AMCAS and secondary to figure out what I wanted to talk about since the interviews are blind, GW website (very informative and dropping the names of programs they have helps), SDN

What impressed you positively?

The facilities for sure. Everything is brand new and gorgeous. The technology is also awesome... loving the computer-run histology labs. The students are so friendly and helpful as well. Oh and the dean is amazingggggg... I pretty much liked everything!

What impressed you negatively?

One of my interviewers was, well interesting towards me to say the least. And obviously cost, but everything is so brand-spankin new there, what do you expect?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How great it is!

What are your general comments?

It was a very laid back day. GW prides itself on diversity, and when you meet all the people you interview w/, you'll definitely see that. I had a great time talking w/ the other interviewees so it made the day that much better. The hospital is gorgeous and the Med School building is as well. You interview w/ a student and a faculty member and they are honestly just trying to get to know you. The staff there is so caring, they want to make the day as stress-free as possible.
