✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews, researched GW website, practiced common interview questions on my own

What impressed you positively?

The interview was very laid-back. The faculty interviewer was nice and friendly, and the student interviewer was extremely casual, making it feel more like a conversation than an interview.

What impressed you negatively?

Since interviews are virtual this year at GW, I couldn't really learn much else about the school besides during the interviews. They send you some PowerPoints but of course that's not the same as seeing the school in person.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I didn't stress so much before the interview.

What are your general comments?

Just practice very common interview questions and spend a lot of time researching the website, about their curriculum/student organizations/etc. Ethical scenario questions were not asked at all.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
