💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

(My relationship with my boyfriend came up in casual conversation) What are you two going to do when you go back to school?
What do you do with your free time?
What experiences in particular inspired you to become a doctor?

What was the most interesting question?

The questions were all pretty standard... Why do you want to be a doctor? What qualities do you have that will make you a good doctor? Etc.

What was the most difficult question?

No particular question was difficult. The interviewer kind of threw me off because he would ask me a question and then interrupt me halfway through my answer every time. I don't know if he was trying to test me or what??

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, Looked on the Georgetown website, read my primary and secondary applications, read about current healthcare issues, RELAXED!!

What impressed you positively?

Their philosophy and curriculum... they fit me perfectly. "Cura personalis"- treat the whole person. They believe in treating the mind, body, and spirit. They teach you not only the science of medicine, but also the art of healing. Ethics is woven into the curriculum all 4 years, complementary and alternative medicine is woven into the curriculum, religion in medicine, etc. Georgetown seems like they emphasize the importance of a well-rounded physician... I like that! Also, the clinical experience there seems really intense and educational.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost!! It's pretty much the same as most of the private schools... but there is a big difference when you are comparing the costs of a private school to a state school! Also, parking is horrible, but that is true with a lot of schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The Metro system in Washington D.C. is great (clean and safe too)!! I definitely recommend using it... much cheaper than a cab and you can get pretty much anywhere. A $5 pass will let you ride all you want for a day. Plus there is a shuttle bus ($1) that goes from some of the metro stations to the Georgetown campus. It is very easy to get around in that area.

What are your general comments?

I almost didn't go to this interview, but I am really glad that I did. I loved the school and the area. The ONLY thing that would prevent me from going here if I got accepted would be the cost. Putting that aside, this could possibly be my top choice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
