What impressed you positively?

The philosophy of the school. Hands down. Very specific about educating physicians who will go out into the world and help those in need. And the focus on excellent clinical training is emphasized over and over again, which by extension means that Georgetown physicians will be very skillful clinically. Also, the early clinical responsibility given to medical students is very attractive.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost and distance. I'm from the West coast and Georgetown is a private school on the opposite side of the country, so those 2 factors are obvious. The interview was open file, and I actually had to carry a folder with my information and hand it to the interviewer, who spent only a few minutes to look it over. I think that's a reason why my interviewer wasn't very thoughtful.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Make sure to come early if you're driving yourself. Parking may be a problem. Also, bring quarters for the toll on the freeway. I barely had enough.

What are your general comments?

Beautiful campus, excellent education philosophy, the Director of Counseling's talk was extremely informative and honest. Georgetown'd be my top choice for sure if I were a resident of DC.
