💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about yourself and what brought you to medicine.
What was the most interesting question?
My interviewer asked about my writing after I expressed a life-long interest in composition.
How did you prepare for the interview?

What was the most difficult question?
None of the questions were particularly difficult to answer.
What impressed you positively?
The admissions office presentation was awesome, but also intimidating.
What impressed you negatively?
My interviewer. He was an M4 and it may have been his first time as an interviewer: he was obviously very nervous and scrambling to find questions most of the time. I also felt rushed out the door after the interview concluded by a member of the admissions office, who may or may not have been having a bad day.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Keep Mrs. Sullivan's talk in the interview day: it was by far the best discussion I've been a part of regarding medical school admissions. I would suggest getting rid of the grumpy guy who "greets" the interviewees, or maybe getting him a bigger cup of coffee in the morning. Also, with all the talk about the excellent rotations and how prepared Georgetown grads are, let us talk to some M3's and M4's. Meeting the 1st and 2nd year students was awesome, but they have such a limited knowledge base as far as the clinical rotations go, and that's what I wanted to know more about.
