How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN feedback, Georgetown website, reading over my apps

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)

What are your general comments?

Great! Very enthusiasm, young surgeon as my interviewer. She put me at ease, and it was more of a conversation than an interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I didn't get to meet Mrs. Sullivan or hear her speech, which I was disappointed about, but I suppose
