⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Overall, very low-stress, though I felt like I was on edge a bit during the morning (actual interview is in the afternoon). This is quite possibly the friendliest place I've visited so far!
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why did you decide to switch from [non-science major] to medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

What are some problems in healthcare that we will have to deal with in the next twenty years?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Georgetown's website, ethics websites, good night's sleep!

What was the most difficult question?

None, really

What impressed you positively?

I would be astounded if you can find one unfriendly person on the staff or in the student body at Georgetown. Everyone was amicable and really, really encouraging. I loved the philosophy and mission of the school; it seems like they really do focus on the student's development as a doctor AND person by allowing the maximum amount of choice possible. Great opportunities for everything from community service to spending time abroad!

What impressed you negatively?

The cost, though we were all told to "learn to love going into debt!"

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would rain, and the humid weather in D.C. would turn my hair into a nightmare!!
