✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

3 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

other med school interviews, read a book on medical ethics, a book on healthcare, and read stuff about GUSOM online

What impressed you positively?

1) the school's location in DC 2) the friendliness of the student body

What impressed you negatively?

1) the facilities were definitely the worst that i've been 2) Georgetown hospital was sold to MedStar apparently because the med center's in hundreds of millions of debt (found this later in the news); they are still in debt after the sell 3) the med library seems underfunded (someone got trapped in the elevator; according to the librarian, that is quite common) 4) the student body was very homogeneous ethnically and in other aspects as well (surprising for a school located in D.C.) 5) first-year med school is spent competing with non-med students that comprise almost 50% of the class (SMPs as they call it); apparently it's the school's way of making money to counter how much debt it's in

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the school seems to be in serious trouble financially and that the situation does not look optimistic

What are your general comments?

Georgetown is not really known for its medical school nor its science departments; its law school's prestige seems to carry the reputation of the med school, but that seems to be pretty much what the school can offer as of today.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
