How did you prepare for the interview?

SND Interview feedback!!! (3 questions were verbatim). GW website & info they provided with interview invitation....MAKE SURE you know about the track program, they love it! Reviewed primary and secondary apps, emphasizing extracurriculars & current activities. CHECK THE WEATHER!

What impressed you positively?

hospital, histo & simulation labs all modern and high tech. (no microscopes in histo lab, its all digital). 8 blocks from the White House Very student-focused curriculum (honors/Pass/Fail w/ no curve) The dean and students were very enthusiastic. Interview/whole day was very relaxed Track program sounded cool.

What impressed you negatively?

Small campus, only one lecture hall for all classes, full-day curriculum schedules (8-5), it rained, high tuition (ave debt = $188,000)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would be so tired after flying across the country. The interviews are at the end of the day. You can bring your luggage with you day of, if necessary.

What are your general comments?

Pretty nice, and definitely has some benefits to location and surrounding area, but its a little claustrophobic if you ask me...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Tell students that the interview will be at the end of the day.
