✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on the Georgetown website, read SDN and the interview feedback page, talked to someone who interviewed at Georgetown in the past and a physician I know who did his residency there

What impressed you positively?

EVERYTHING. Fantastic opportunities for service locally and international, research, public health and policy integrated into the curriculum, opportunities to learn about policy and advocacy.

What impressed you negatively?

Cost of living is outrageous. Grading is not true pass/fail - it's basically a glorified letter grade on a curve

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

Mrs. Sullivan's talk gave some fantastic insight into the school and helped me determine whether it was a good fit for me. She said that any med school will teach you to be a physician-scientist, but Gtown will teach you to be a physician-healer and a physician-advocate as well. Pretty cool.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I wish we had opportunities to speak to more students. There was ample time to talk with the M2s at lunch, but it would have been nice to hear from some students in their clinical years as well. I only got the chance to speak to a few students, and a little more diversity of experiences at Georgetown would have been nice.
