A mixed bag. Great interviewer, relatively nice tour guides, although they seemed a little superficial. Again, not a fan of Mrs. Sullivan's speech.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
It was kind of a "Tell me about yourself," interview.
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing really, the interview was mostly a conversation asking about my activities, and since I was interested, his work as a pediatric oncologist.
How did you prepare for the interview?
read over my application, read interviewfeedback. I had also heard that Georgetown liked to ask lots of medical ethics/healthcare issues questions so I read up on that some, but my interviewer didn't really ask anything along those lines.
What impressed you positively?
The campus is pretty nice. My interviewer was great. The staff in the admisssions office is really friendly.
What impressed you negatively?
Cost of a Georgetown education. Wow.
Mrs. Sullivan's infamous speech. I was not a fan. It felt very condescending and overly long for the amount of actual information it contained. She also included the phrase "So when you're applying to your Hopkins, your Stanfords, your Georgetowns, your Harvards, your UCSFs..." Didn't hear the rest because I was too busy humming "One of these things is not like the other...."
