Great! Very enthusiasm, young surgeon as my interviewer. She put me at ease, and it was more of a conversation than an interview.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
The basics: why Georgetown? why medicine? What specialty?
What was the most interesting question?
What field of medicine are you interested in? (Led to her talking about her path in medicine, and her views on surgery (her specialty) and how the common perception of lack of pt-MD relationships in surgery is inaccurate)
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN feedback, Georgetown website, reading over my apps
What was the most difficult question?
Nothing too difficult at all... I guess why Georgetown
What impressed you positively?
The fact that they really teach students the art of medicine beginning in the first year, and that everyone there has a persona that really fits their traditions and philosophies.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities aren't fabulous, though they aren't terrible... it's just that everything is in the basement. No windows.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interview wasn't as tough as I thought it would be! (I was expecting ethics questions, seeing as they are Jesuit... got none whatsoever)
