What are your general comments?

I enjoyed the interveiw, although I was a bit disappointed in the facilities. The admissions people were friendly, but they are really putting the ball in your court: does the mission of Georgetown fit yours, and if so, you should come. If not, don't bother. :)
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

mostly about who I am, my motivations, etc.

What was the most interesting question?

Since your family wasn't involved in health care, how in the world do you know you'll like it, or that you'll be able to balance your family life with the struggles and challenges of being a physician?

How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN, re read my application, etc. Read up on G-town's programs.

What was the most difficult question?

see above

What impressed you positively?

They have TONS of clinical exposure and service opportunities, right up my alley.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities were really disappointing...very old, and run-down. There are rumors of renovation, but who knows if that will happen in our lifetime.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Georgetown only wants you if you really really want them. They prod you to think about what you really want in a med school. What WOULD be your perfect med school? Think about that!
