✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN. Otherwise, just winging it.

What impressed you positively?

The flexibility of the curriculum. The application of 'cura personalis'. The focus on non-biological factors in the doctoring courses. The responsibility given to fourth-year students. International/service/supplementary/other programs.

What impressed you negatively?

Old, worn-looking facilities. Nobody seemed to have a straight answer on competition vs. cooperation, which I take to mean it was pretty competetive. Required research project (though this may be flexible).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you're taking the Metro, you can ride to the Dupont Circle or Rosslyn stations and catch the GUTS bus to campus for free. Very handy.

What are your general comments?

Really liked this place. They emphasize attitudes and programs that I think are important. Really hope I get in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Confirmation emails! Also, make sure tour guides who actually know the school well are available.
