💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why did you decide on a career in medicine? Why did you apply to Georgetown?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN. Otherwise, just winging it.
What was the most difficult question?
What are some of the problems in our health care in this country? What parts of the proposed reform are good ideas/bad ideas?
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.
