How did you prepare for the interview?

Make sure you can answer "tell me about yourself" and "why medicine". review health care reform, review PS and secondary application, look over GWU website for curriculum info and specific reasons I applied to/want to attend GWU

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Really impressed with the diverse and interesting student body. They were all so willing to talk with us [the interviewees] and answer all our questions. There also appeared to be a lot of camaraderie and collaboration between the students. Everyone seemed really happy with their choice. I also thought the sim lab was impressive. LOVED the schools location and the fact that the hospital is right across the street

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. I really enjoyed my experience, but was a little flustered by the faculty interview and all the health policy/ future of healthcare questions. I wish I had thought through my answers to those questions a little more.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It really was a pretty low stress day but I wish I had focused more on healthcare reform/policy changes during my interview prep.
