GW website, SDN

What impressed you positively?

facilities- surgical training room, POM program, exam rooms

What impressed you negatively?

interviews too short... hard to convey everything you want in 2- 25 min interviews, in which the interviewer knows nothing about you. also, difficult to carry out a conversation on any one topic since several questions were asked

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

n/a

What are your general comments?

odd that admissions faculty gave the tour, and not a med student. new hospital- amazing. ross hall, research facilities- a bit outdated, relatively. nice, stress-free atmosphere while speaking with med students and other applicants while waiting for interview.
