⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
I really enjoyed visiting GW, for its emphasis on patient care and cooperative learning. The interview was EXTREMELY low-stress . . . it's more to supplement your application than to evaluate you (or so I think . . .) Definitely a great interview experience, designed to be as little stress as possible.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Describe your ideal of a doctor's visit. Describe the reality of a doctor's visit. Why are these two scenarios different?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read through my AMCAS and secondary application, and read through the GW brochure I was sent in the mail.
What impressed you positively?
The beautiful new 110 million dollar hospital with the virtual reality surgery rooms on the 6th floor, and the spanking brand-new gym. I also really enjoyed interacting with the students, who were all very friendly and helpful, and create a cooperative learning environment for the study of medicine. Student happiness runs sky high at this school =).
What impressed you negatively?
The lack of on-campus graduate housing (read: NONE!) - living in the surrounding DC/VA/MD areas will cost you a ton, unless you're lucky enough to have connections or find something close to $1000 . . . if not be prepared to have roommates for all four years or pay rent that's closer to $2000/month.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Relax and breathe, and realize that they already want you at their school - that's why they invited you for an interview.
