What are your general comments?
The interveiw day wasn't particularly stressful. I think this was in part due to the fact that the interview coordinator arranges the interview day for that reason.All in All I would love to go to this school but I have already been accepted to another school.The only thing negative about this school is the price$$$$. Otherwise the teaching facilities are exquisite and the opportunites open to gwu students are also excellent.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about yourself. One of the hardest because I had so much to tell and so little time. I should have practice interviewed a little more with friends and family instead of gunning it.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Book about the US health system and a book whose title was ''get into medical school: a guide for the perplexed''. I thought this was fitting book because I was indeed a little perplexed at the beginning of the medical school application process.The latter book was a good reference guide.
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about yourself. So much to tell and so little time
What impressed you positively?
The whole sixth floor of Gwu hospital is dedicated to medical education.They actually had simulation rooms with dummies that could mimic various medical conditions.
What impressed you negatively?
The price and the faculty interviewer was rather aloof.I usually am very good at reading people's feelings and i couldnt read her well.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
you have to repeat various parts of your application 2x to your interviewers.This is because the interviews are closed file.
