What are your general comments?

The only interview I went to where I really had very little positive to say about the school. I was very disappointed at almost every turn. Mostly I couldn't get over the attitude there. The students and faculty really seemed to think they were the greatest, which would be fine if they didn't take every opportunity to let you know it.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why medicine?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over secondary essay and school's website.

What impressed you positively?

The location in Georgetown.

What impressed you negatively?

The attitude of the faculty, students and staff (pretty arrogant but with a large inferiority complex to boot). The whole 'cura personalis' thing which is really not unique to their school. The extent to which the Catholic affiliation effected the school (no stem cell research!). Cost of attendance and debt at graduation. My interviewer answered his phone no less than 5 times during the interview. Most of all: the teaching facilities, in the basement, very run-down looking.
