How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my AMCAS app, SDN

What impressed you positively?

The hospital!!! It is seriously awesome! The paperless thing is so great, I felt like I was going through the Horizon's ride at Epcot b/c everything seemed so futuristic.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviews are much too short. 30 minutes is not enough time for them to get to know, in my opinion. Also, it is so damned expensive - tuition and cost of living.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Make sure to bring an ID b/c to get into the building you need one.

What are your general comments?

The day is very organized. Matthew Farber shows you around most of the day and is very knowledgable about general facts regarding GW. The hospital is truly impressive and overall I think GW is a very good med school and DC is a great place to live.
