What are your general comments?

"For the price tag of GW, I was honestly expecting more. The facilities were okay--but could have been better. We had lunch with current GW students--and they seemed to really like it. However, I got a sense that this was the only school they got into--or was a back-up. Plus, there were many BS/MD program students there who weren't very helpful with the exact questions that I had--it wasn't their fault, they just had a different application process. The students were friendly and the interview day was not stressful." Report Response
