What was the most interesting question?

You are the best surgeon in the world and you are reasonably sure you can give a Jehovah's witness a surgery without a blood transfusion. Do you give him the surgery? Then....The kid needs a blood transfusion after all but the parents adamently refuse a blood transfusion, do you give it anyways knowing it is against their faith?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The passion of the staff, the nice surrounding area, the philosophy of the school that emphasizes the whole person (for example during anatomy you are taught non-traditional medicine in relation to anatomy)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The talk you are given is sorta intimidating. I also don't like how expensive tuition is and how expensive it is to live in the area. Plus, this may not be the best place to go if you want to pursue research at all.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they really don't push students to do any research.

What are your general comments?

You meet in this room called the fish bowl (you'll see why). The very nice staff talks to you about how you should consider if Georgetown is the school for you and not worry about doing well at the interview. Next, you get a financial aid talk which is pretty intimidating since the cost of living and tuition is high. You also get a long talk about the philosophy of the school which should give you a good idea of if Georgetown is a match for you or not. The tour and lunch with students is informative and you do get to see some of the hospital and the anatomy lab. The interview is pretty low key, mine was with a fourth year student who was very nice.
