How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched about the school, looked at interview questions in SDN, and watched YouTube videos.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I was really impressed by the strong sense of community and support at GW, as well as the unique opportunities that medical students are offered in DC (working with the NIH, talking to policy makers on Capitol Hill, etc.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Since it was virtual, the interview day wasn't very engaging. They had a short power point slide for applicants before the interview, but it would've been nice to have a virtual tour of the school and to hear about the specific opportunities they offer there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known about the types of questions (i.e. conflict resolution) they were going to ask to prepare more in advance.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview day was very brief (the interview itself was only 35-40 minutes). However, my interviewer was very friendly and spent a few minutes introducing herself before launching into the bulk of the interview, which consisted of several interview style questions she needed/wanted to ask. Although she seemed very passionate, I really wished it had been more interactive before and after the interview (i.e. virtual tour of the school, social event, etc.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I would suggest offering a more engaging/interactive interview day experience (i.e. virtual tour of the school, social event, etc.)
