What are your general comments?
the school moved up on my list. my only qualms about attending would be that it i'd be far from family(i'm from CA). but from what i saw gwu trains people to become very good physicians.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
if there were no medicine in the world what would you want to become?
How did you prepare for the interview?
read my amcas personal statement, read up on gw, read a bit about hmo's, defined my stance on certain issues like abortion, euthanasia, etc. (not necessary for this int since it was very laidback).
What was the most difficult question?
How do you think you will cope with the rigors of medical school? This one was given by the student interviewer who prefaced it with examples of how being a med student is very demanding and how you lose out on certain life experiences(ie missing bdays, weddings, not enough time for hobbies etc.)
What impressed you positively?
the new hospital is awesome. the curriculum is geared to prepare students to become very good clinicians.
What impressed you negatively?
the cost of tuition, cost of living in DC
