What impressed you positively?

The school's philosophy, Mrs. Sullivan's speech, every student and faculty member I encountered, the curriculum, the opportunities for research and volunteering, location

What impressed you negatively?

Price, classrooms... that's about it

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would be sitting in a glass box for a large portion of the day, that I was expected to know WAY less about health care reform than I anticipated

What are your general comments?

I wouldn't classify the interview as "laid back," as many do (at least not with my interviewer), but it certainly wasn't as stressful as it could have been. After today Georgetown has jumped significantly on my dream list.
