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.
