This was my first interview and it was a really good experience. The interview questions weren't terribly difficult, and the physician who interviewed me (the second interview was with a student) was incredibly friendly and eager to sell the school.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What is your best attribute? What is your greatest weakness?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read the GW website, this website, and a book about healthcare. I also had a mock interview, which was very helpful.
What was the most difficult question?
Is there anything else you want us to know? Because the interviews were closed file, they did not ask specific questions about my experiences and background, and it was difficult for me to figure out what to tell them.
What impressed you positively?
The hospital was really nice and new, the students seemed very happy, DC is a great city, and I really enjoyed talking to the physician who interviewed me. Also, there is a metro stop right next to the hospital, which is very convenient. If you have time after the interview, you should walk a few blocks and check out GW's awesome gym.
What impressed you negatively?
I didn't get the impression that the school really cared about providing financial aid for students. They basically told us to look for outside scholarships.
