The Office of Student Opportunities helps match your interests up to programs, and really take advantage of the resources in D.C. I'm not interested so much in research, but there are apparently great opportunities at NIH that you can take advantage of through GWU. Also, your fourth year you only need to be at GWU for 3 months, so students match with incredible residencies by going to those hospitals during their fourth year and making connections while they do a rotation there. Also, the student body is incredibly laid back and diverse in age. They really like non-traditional students. And the new hospital and simulation lab on the top floor were very nice.

Plus, they have this thing called "Sim Man," which is a fake/robotic patient that can be programmed to have different problems, like a collapsed lung, allergic reaction, etc. and you can intervene and he'll respond to you intervention as a real person would. Very cool! Also, the students seemed to be really cool, didn't study all the time, and were surprisingly not stressed out given the fact that they had three exams the next week!"

"The school uses an internal ranking system that gets published to residency programs, but not to the students themselves.

"Cost. This is one of the most expensive schools in the country. Furthermore, the students seemed rather dismissive when I asked how they planned to pay it back. Even the ones going into primary care seemed unfazed, despite the fact that their salary is going to take a massive (potentially unsustainable) hit thanks to the loan payments they'll have to make. Also, the curriculum seems a bit outdated, and most of the students I met complained about the amount of time they spend in class/lecture (usually >8 hours per day). Supposedly GW is going to revamp the curriculum in the next couple of years, but as far as I could tell, this isn't going to happen until the fall of 2014 at the earliest. A small negative is the lack of school-owned housing." More from this Member | Report Response

"The tour wasn't too impressive... I feel like I saw next to nothing. The tour guide seemed bored and annoyed with questions that I asked. The student who was supposed to interview me didn't show up, so they asked one of the 2nd years to interview me. He was caught off guard and our interview ended up starting late and ran over time. My faculty interview therefore started late, and I was rushed through the questions, was asked 0 follow up questions about my answers, and got a strong impression that she did not want me to ask her any questions. I spent hundreds of dollars getting to this interview and ended up leaving with a bad taste in my mouth." More from this Member | Report Response

They have very long class hours and are required to do a ''project'' in year 3 (as if med school doesn't have enough work already). They didn't provide hosts or allow you to contact students prior to the interview.

Also, D.C. is pricier than I thought (they compared housing to that of San Francisco - with a small studio near GWU at $1300). But most students move ''off campus'' one metro stop away in their third and fourth years to get more bang for their buck." More from this Member | Report Response

"It didn't really seem like we saw very much (just sim lab, the library, the classrooms), but this is my first tour, so maybe there just isn't much to see. Lunch was pretty bad (soggy wraps).

More from this Member | Report Response

"The student interviewer did not seem to be interested in anything I said, just went down the list of questions with no regard to my previous responses and kept forgetting what I already mentioned.

No mention of research at all.

I left with the impression they may actually be against research during med school." More from this Member | Report Response

The admissions staff member who gave the tour informed us all that doctors are "always late" for their interviews. They didn't tell me that the faculty member who was interviewing me had called in sick until I'd waited for 35 minutes and asked them about the situation. Still, I had a great 45-minute discussion about health policy with the faculty member who came to interview me at the last minute (note: our conversation was entirely self-directed. I brought it up since it's my bailiwick, so don't stress if it's not yours!)" More from this Member | Report Response

"The price!! Not only of the school but DC is so expensive. I didn't like the closed file, 25 min interviews. There were no real questions just "tell me about yourself" (and start with your name!). It just felt too short to me to really get to know someone. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The cost to attend GW is really expensive but so is any other medical school. You'll run into that anywhere you go unless you attend a state supported school in which you are a resident of that state. Housing is not provided at GW, which means you have to find an apartment in DC. However, this didn't really bother me too terribly much. Apartments are expensive in all the big cities, so you'll run into that problem as well. Overall, I have no complaints about GW. I would love to go there!!!! Outstanding school and excellent city to live in!" More from this Member | Report Response

"We didn't meet any faculty and the staff who talked to us were not enthused. Esp. the financial aid guy. I did not feel confident that I would be able to go to this school because I have no financial resources. Most schools tell you not to worry about money, they can make it happen, etc. This guy was basically telling us - worry about money - you might not be able to go here."

"cost of the school" More from this Member | Report Response

"That the beautiful hospital is mainly owned by an HMO (remember the troubles MCP got into by having an HMO own their hospital?) ; Darrell was condescending; Washington D.C. was freezing; the lack of financial aid and high cost of the school; that we did not get to eat lunch before our interviews; the fourth-year students that came to speak to us were pretty arrogant" More from this Member | Report Response

Also, GW has its own metro stop (Foggy Bottom) which is directly in front of the medical school. Flying in to Reagan National or riding Amtrak into Union Station and then metro-ing in to GW is most convenient." More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I can tell they try to make it seem casual to decrease the level of stress which was nice. I am unsure about timing since some comments on here said their interviews were longer than 30 minutes but prepare concise answers just in case." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, the interview day was very brief (the interview itself was only 35-40 minutes). However, my interviewer was very friendly and spent a few minutes introducing herself before launching into the bulk of the interview, which consisted of several interview style questions she needed/wanted to ask. Although she seemed very passionate, I really wished it had been more interactive before and after the interview (i.e. virtual tour of the school, social event, etc.)" More from this Member | Report Response

"I was honestly expecting to be underwhelmed due to recent media coverage of GW and my own experience with GW undergrads, but my initial impressions were totally wrong! GW Med school has a really neat curriculum and a lot of bells and whistles in the form of extracurricular opportunities, track programs, and service programs. I almost felt like they talked about that extracurricular stuff too much and somewhat ignored the main curriculum, but those things are probably better selling points."

"Love this school. Interviews were really conversational, but as they are closed file, you don't have the luxury of the interviewer prompting you about things they've seen in your file. Really be able to highlight or bring up examples of your work, academics, and passions during your discussion." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall a good school, incredible location, very expensive. Would definitely go here with a scholarship of some sort, but otherwise, it would be fiscally irresponsible not to choose a decent state school." More from this Member | Report Response

"Good school, not much research going on though" More from this Member | Report Response

"I believe the school gave me an impression that they are somewhat apathetic to the students, and really didn't feel like a strong, cohesive group. Great location though. The interviews were structured in a way where I felt that the questions were "bland," and there was little opportunity to "change the course" of the conversation."

"DC is one of the coolest cities in the US. GW offers some of the best programs in global health and health policy. They interview so many people, so interviews can be rushed or unorganized. Not much in the way of facilities because of the stress on clinical medicine... not a place to come to do research." More from this Member | Report Response

"Med students are around during the interview to answer your questions and to give you a better idea of the GW med school life." More from this Member | Report Response

"I loved GW" More from this Member | Report Response

"I loved the school. I particularly liked the fact that the dean spoke about the fact that GW is proud of its research, but that if you want to be a researcher, GW is not the school for you. I interviewed right after the earthquake in Haiti, and hearing about GW's extensive involvement in the relief efforts was also impressive, particularly since my interest lies in disaster relief and humanitarian assistance medicine. GREAT school!" More from this Member | Report Response

"This school is amazing. There is almost nothing I didn't like about this place. The program sounds exciting, and I would be very happy to go here." More from this Member | Report Response

"Pretty nice, and definitely has some benefits to location and surrounding area, but its a little claustrophobic if you ask me..." More from this Member | Report Response

"The school legitimately cares about bringing in a class that will do more than just be a doctor, which is a lot of the reason those with numbers as their strong points will not get interviews. If it wasn't for the cost of the school, this would be a no brainer for a medical school" More from this Member | Report Response

"If you're interested in global health or health policy, there's probably no comparable school.

"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." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, the interview was very well structured and an awesome experience. The day started at 9:45am with a little intro by one of the deans, then we took a tour of the GW hospital 6th floor, the auditorium, and the histopath lab. Interviews went from 12:00-2:00, but I started right at 12 and ended at 1pm. I was out of there a few minutes after 1pm. Overall, it was pretty laid back, like everyone said. Both the student interviewer and faculty were nice, and the clinician actually seemed interested in what I had to say. So don't stress, and just know ''Why GW?''" More from this Member | Report Response

"in the morning we took a quick tour of the facilities then we had a presentation from from the financial aid office and the office of student opportunities. we had lunch around noon, where first and second year med students came to talk to us if we had any questions (very informal). after lunch, we had our interviews (student first, then faculty). it was a very standard day. they really try to keep it low stress - so dont freak out!

"I think it went okay. It was my first interview, so during my student interview, which was first, I was a little anxious. But by the time I finished, I was feeling a lot more at ease. I think I did better on my faculty interview, but since they are weighted 50/50, I give myself about a 5ish. " More from this Member | Report Response

"One student interview. very laid back... Another with faculty, also laid back and thought provoking." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall I had a great day. Students were really friendly. Many students came during lunch to talk to the interviewees. They were most likely there for the free food, but they were very enthusiastic and extremely willing to answer questions. You could tell there was a camaraderie between them. The interview is one student and one faculty. The student interview was great. It was very conversational and went very quickly. I think it was my best interview. The faculty interview was pretty bad. He literally read off a list of questions and barely responded to what I said. One of my worst interviews. But I'm still convinced the school is great."

"This was my second interview so it was even less stressful than my first. We started with a short intro by one of the deans, then went on a tour of the hospital and med school building. Then we heard more about the school before lunch when several students came in to talk to us and answer questions we had. The interviews were last (one with a student and one with a faculty member) and they were pretty low-stress since they were closed-file so most of the questions were just about getting to know me." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a very laid back day. GW prides itself on diversity, and when you meet all the people you interview w/, you'll definitely see that. I had a great time talking w/ the other interviewees so it made the day that much better. The hospital is gorgeous and the Med School building is as well. You interview w/ a student and a faculty member and they are honestly just trying to get to know you. The staff there is so caring, they want to make the day as stress-free as possible."

They hand you a folder at the beginning of the day with all of your info, including who you will be interviewing with and what time. Very comfortable the entire time, nothing to stress about at all. The student interviewer was a slightly less conversational than the faculty interviewer, but even then, very casual interview. Both started out with..."So tell me about yourself"" More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, my experience was pleasant. Nothing about the school really stood out for me. A lot of the things that GW touted as unique was present at every other school I interviewed at." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was there really early. As other people arrived, we got acquainted. The dean came in to talk for about 20 minutes, then we went on a short tour to the hospital and lecture halls.

"I left with mixed feelings. The school is a great fit for my interests and ambitions, but I was put off by the lack of enthusiasm demonstrated by other applicants. My faculty interviewer was also very, very short...I don't feel like he/she walked away with a good understanding of who I am." More from this Member | Report Response

The deans and students alike are very laid back and approachable and the POM program really seems to foster the closeknit environment among the students. Everyone seems helpful and dedicated to seeing everyone succeed. good opportunities to work in urban medicine, public health or global health. As one of the deans said though, if you are interested in rural medicine this isnt the place for you." More from this Member | Report Response

"great, very low key, no wierd/stressful questions at all. my student interviewer was a little bit awkward, boo. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I was much more impressed than I expected to be. The interview experience was friendly and laid-back, and I really think they did a good job selling the school, and making clear what type of student they're looking for. It's closed-file, so they don't know anything about you other than your name. Both of my interviewers just engaged me in a low-stress conversation about my experiences and interests. They both did ask the obligatory ''weakness'' and ''strength'' questions, but they only asked for one, and it was conversational as well. You spend the day with about 15 interviewees, and go for a tour (where you walk through the new hospital to the top floor dedicated to education (and which has the programmable simulation patients), through the library, and through two large classrooms - one where all of the students sit in pairs at large flat-screen computers looking at slides). You have lunch with the other interviewees (wraps), and first (and some second) year students stop by to chat and answer any questions you might have. They were very friendly and helpful, but definitely made it clear that you only really have 1 or 2 hours a day outside of classes & studying (can't imagine how you'd engage in other activities your first two years!). One student said that everyone is pretty laid back and friendly, but that the student body doesn't socialize as much as he'd hoped - pretty much just after exams. Overall, I found that the most impressive part was the amazingly unique international and healthcare policy opportunities that they offer and encourage students to take advantage of. That alone blew me away. With the exception of the long lecture hours, there isn't a thing I would want to change - I would be more than ecstatic to go to GWU." More from this Member | Report Response

"First interview was with a student, basically typical questions (why gwu, what are your strengths, weaknesses, blah blah). She seemed nice and a little nervous. Second interview, with faculty, lasted much longer than the 25 min it was supposed to, more of a conversation than an interview, talked about my undergrad research (history, not medical), future of medicine, student debt, a very meandering friendly conversation."

"Very low key, everyone was very friendly and excited that we were there." More from this Member | Report Response

"The Interview atmosphere at GW was very relaxing." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interveiw day wasn't particularly stressful. I think this was in part due to the fact that the interview coordinator arranges the interview day for that reason.All in All I would love to go to this school but I have already been accepted to another school.The only thing negative about this school is the price$$$$. Otherwise the teaching facilities are exquisite and the opportunites open to gwu students are also excellent. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Positive, but I took it with a grain of salt. You can never tell how in-touch with the school professional admissions officers are. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The faculty interview was very easy. My interviewer seemed genuinely interested in my future, and he gave me a lot of great advice on how to reach my goals. It seemed more like an advising session, and he was more than willing to let the conversation go rather than just stick with the questions. The student interview was very low key with lots of opportunity to get questions answered. Overall, the closed file method wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, you just have to make sure you prioritize before what you think is important to get across, especially when they start off with the broad, "Tell me about yourself."" More from this Member | Report Response

"2 interviews: 1 student, 1 faculty. Both were very conversational and laidback. It was a little odd, because my student interviewer asked me the standard questions you would expect to get from a faculty interviewer (e.g., why medicine, why GW, which specialty, tell me about US healthcare issues...) while my faculty interviewer just chatted with me about my experiences/ECs."

"considering i've been a student (undergrad/grad) at the school for some time and live in dc, i just hopped on the metro for two stops. the day started at around 9:45/10 am so it was nice to have the time to relax a bit in the morning and eat a good breakfast. sat through short presentation by admissions coordinator, dean scott, and then took a toor of the facilities and hospital. returned to the library meeting room and ate lunch with some current 1st & 2nd years. then had two ~30 minute interviews (1 student, 1 faculty), followed by a presentation by the financial aid office and student opportunities office. it was a very straight-forward and laid back day. we were out of there by 2pm." More from this Member | Report Response

"We were taken to a room in the library where we were ''checked in'' and given folders by the admissions staff. The dean of the school then came in and gave the ''spiel'' for the school. We were then taken on a tour of the school and hospital and met back in the room for lunch and talking with current students (1st and 2nd years). We then waited for one of our two interviewers to come get us to begin the interview process. Some had faculty first and others had students first. After that we heard from the Office of Student Opportunities and were free to go." More from this Member | Report Response

The interview coordinator had everything very organized, the first and second year studens were sooo excited to talk to us, my interviewers were really nice and we talked so much, they actually lasted longer than planned, the tour of the facility was pretty quick so you don't have to worry about walking around too much in dress shoes, free mug and lunch! Oh, and an Office of Student Opportunities staff member comes to talk about the TRACK Program, and also the Financial Aid Office, great Q&A sessions, and we actually got to observe the first and second year students in lecture. Get to know the other applicants interviewing with you, everyone today was really nice and helped to make the atmosphere relaxed and fun! " More from this Member | Report Response

"I got there (a bit late thanks to metro troubles). it was raining (bring an umbrella, DC weather is a bit unpredictable). We started with a talk by the dean of admissions, then we went on a tour of the classrooms and hospital. They share the class facilities with the school of public health but there's no cross registering allowed (one of the only schools i interviewed at where this was the case). The facilities are fairly unbeatable. The location is awesome. The students were very gregarious, the complained quite a bit about their anatomy class, and not wanting to go to class/school, but maybe this was just the students that day, not sure. All seemed happy about their decisions, very diverse group. After tour/lunch I had two interviews, first one with a stone-faced professor, he had no reaction to me or the other 2 interviewees, he's just a hard interviewer, but it was conversational if not congenial. Student interview afterwards, went incredibly well, she is someone I would love to be in school with, was really intelligent, engaging, and easy to talk to. Afterwards they gave us mugs, talked to us about the track system - it seems really cool and a great opportunity to include students personal interests into their medical school education. There's a lot of support for student endeavors." More from this Member | Report Response

"Both my student and faculty interviewers were extremely kind and laidback, but since the interviews were only 25 min, they felt rushed. They asked the basic questions... pretty much all covered by postings on SDN." More from this Member | Report Response

"i'm seeing a trend with private schools that go out of their way to make the interview days stress free...GW is no exception. Very up front and easy-going interviews that give you the opportunity to say you peace, so preparation matters." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had one interview with a dean of admissions. She was running late and made me wait for 20 minutes in the lobby, which made me late for my next interview with a student. The dean seemed very unenthusiastic about the interview. The student interview was a great experience. The student was incredibly friendly and it was a pleasure to speak with him. He asked me basic questions to learn more about me." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was very laid back, conversational. Go in with a few major things that you want to make sure that you cover - being closed file makes it completely your responsibility to cover the important stuff." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews were very casual, and the interviewers did their very best to make it a stress-free experience. Actually, I had to watch my casual tone once or twice because of being drawn into this comfortable atmosphere. Conversation flowed well, and in my case, questions seemed to connect to what I, myself, had brought up. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall interviews were very casual and conversational. First one was with a med student who was very friendly and just wanted to learn a little about me. Second was with a doc-also casual, but he did ask some 'illegal' questions like where else/how many interviews, where else did you apply" More from this Member | Report Response

"I think the people there are pretty nice and the interviews are not supposed to be stressful. I think it was because this was my first interview and I got some hard questions that I don't think I answered them pretty well that made me not feel 100% positive about my interview. Overall, the school environment and people are excellent." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day begins in a conference room where you have time to talk with other applicants. Then there are presetations/a video/speech from a dean/and a tour. The facilities are VERY nice and the tour guide was extremely informative and helpful. This was followed by lunch where 5-10 first years and some second years came it to talk with us about GW. There input was really helpful. They said they are in class pretty much 8-5 every day (and although that isn't a problem for a lot of people) it seems like a very large amount of lecture time to me. They said they have 2 lectures in the morning followed by 3-4 in a row in athe afternoons. That is pretty much the only negative impression I got. The interviews were very laid back. My faculty interviewer didn't speak english very will though so I kept wondering if she was understanding the things I was trying to say (sometimes she would follow up with a question that made me believe I didn't get my point through). Anyway overall I really enjoyed the school, it has a lot to offer and DC is an amazing city to live in. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Very laidback. Someone comes in to talk about GW in general, followed by a quick tour of GW's hospital, financial aid presentation, lunch and then your 2 interviews. They put the interviews back to back so they're pretty stringent on time. Most won't last more than 30 minutes. One doctor and one student (usually MS2) interviews you. Closed file so I ended up repeating myself but they were both very relaxed." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was very laid back. I was only stressed because it was my first interview and I didn't know what to expect but if you're going, just relax. You will have a student and faculty interview, closed file, and they will ask basic questions, i.e. Why medicine, why GW, tell me about yourself. The interviews were shorter than I had expected, but very pleasant." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was very relaxed. My first interviewer was the old dean of admissions. He kept the interview on track asking a lot of questions.

She basically let me talk about myself and ask questions." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a really relaxing and non-stressful day. The interview coordinator made everything run very smoothly. The dean of the medical school spoke to us, followed by a tour of the classrooms and 6th floor of the hospital (the teaching area). Then there was more information about the process from there, as well as financial aid. Then we had lunch with some current students and after that were the actual interviews.

"Get there around 9. Meet admissions guy and dean of student affairs. Take a tour of facilities. Lunch. Student interview. Basically, this person wasn't cool at all. They acted like my reasons for GW were wrong and that my interest in becoming a practicing clinician was unremarkable. Then had a faculty interiew. This person was genuine and very interested in who I was. I felt like this interview really gave me an opportunity to represent myself. Then some finacial stuff."

"Each candidate had a student and a faculty interview. the interviewers filled out a form immediately after the session.

"There were 2 interviews: one with a faculty member and one with a student, each lasting about 30 minutes. Both interviews were very comfortable and stress-free. The day was very well organized and we were kept occupied while waiting to interview by having the opportunity to visit with several current students." More from this Member | Report Response

"Student interview was great. Faculty interview left me with a negative impression. Like another reviewer said, the closed-file nature of the interview made the the faculty questions seem very pointed and attacking and made me somewhat defensive. This is my first experience with closed-file interviews so far and I don't agree that it works as well as they claim. I think the first interview should be a student interview, which can be closed-file. But the faculty interview should be open-file, and second, so you don't feel like you're repeating yourself. What's the point of 2 interviews if you're answering the same questions in both interviews?" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview with a med student was very good, as he was very friendly and seemed truly interested in being part of the admissions process. The "faculty" interview was with an alumnus who isn't actually on the faculty. It was nice that he wanted to "give back" to the school, but he also checked his voice mail in the middle of my interview, which amused me because it perfectly fit his self-important mannner, but in retrospect, I found this very rude, especially in light of all the work that applicants have to do just to get an interview."

"I thought it was fine. The doctor-interviewer seemed not too interested in what I was saying. He wrote a lot and didn't really look at me at all.

The whole day was guided by the interview coordinator, who was very informative and professional. He took us on a tour of the hospital, which really impressed me. Afterwards we eat lunch and about 10 med students, mostly first years, came in to talk with us about the school. However, the interview coordinator stayed in the room the whole time so I'm not sure if he was there to make sure the students didn't say anything negative about the school or what. Afterwards, we were called out one by one to interview with a students and then a faculty member. The interviews were very relaxed and conversational. Then we had a presentation from a member of the office for student opportunities, and that was it. " More from this Member | Report Response

"There were more applicants there than in previous interviews, but it did not negatively impact the day. The talk by the dean in the morning was great, really piqued my interest in all of the opportunities available at the school. I felt that the tour was better than at any other interview I've had thus far -- it was organized, planned, and there was information given along the way. The facilites are also very new. Students came in to talk to us during lunch and were very laid-back, I liked the atmosphere. They were all very honest about their experiences, and all seemed enthusiastic and happy. The interviews were blind, but honestly they still followed the same path that open-file ones have had. I felt comfortable during each, although in general they followed a more Q and A format than the more conversational interviews I have had. The office of Student Opportunities impressed me, as well as the breadth of experiences available to join or create. " More from this Member | Report Response

A dean of admissions came in and talked to us first and he presented a lot of information as well as helped put all of us at ease. The tour of the school and the hospital were great (even though it was raining that day and we had to walk outside to walk between the school and the hospital). My student interviewer was really nice and we had a pleasant conversation. My faculty interview was amazing, despite the fact that he was a little late. By far the best interview experience I have had thus far! He was really nice and our conversation continued passed the interview time and we continued talking about Cuba and Miami (we're I'm from) as he walked me out of the building. I think closed-file interviews are better than open-file interviews. " More from this Member | Report Response

"This was just a really well-put-together and informative interview day. Also, it was so stressless. You get to see pretty much everything, but the day isn't unnecessarily long. Also, several students come in to the lunch room and answer your questions. The students - socially and intellectually - impressed me very much. My interview with the faculty was very straightforward - none of the questions were difficult. I got the impression that the point of the student interview is just so that admissions can see that you're a normal, sociable person and that you'll fit in at GW. My student interview seemed pretty nervous, actually. In any case, it was still a very easy interview - totally conversational. Overall, I really enjoyed everything about this school."

Without a doubt, the best organized with the least amount of downtime (removed the stress of waiting around). The discussions, tour, lunch, student interaction, and interviews were well done. GW offers everything I liked at other schools - early clinical exposure, focus on primary care, diversity, residency placement, and the opportunity for a scholarly tract. Interviews were with a student and a physician. Both were very closed-file, so be prepared with a "tell me about yourself introduction"...and be sure to include everything important."

At the end of the day, i really cannot say how well i did. I was nto stressed though. This is my forth interview, so i'm pretty used to the process. After the interviews were done,we were free to leave, or listen to a presentation from the director of the new student opportunity office. This office will open in the fall.

They show off all the newer stuff like Harvey the heart dummy and new online slides (a replacement for microscopes). They don't take you through any labs. After a short financial aid presentation and lunch I had two interviews, one with a second year and one with a doc. Both were very laid back and conversational. The day is over about 1PM.

The first interview was given by a 2nd year medial student - casual and very upfront about her reasons for picking GW.

You also have a long time with the students, so definitely come prepared with questions--they'll stay and answer questions for as long as people have questions. All in all, a pretty easy day. My interviewer, however, was reading questions off a paper and writing my responses down, so for all of you that are interviewing in the future, here are the questions I was asked, not sure if they'll be asked of anyone else, but like I said, it seemed he was reading off a questions sheet or something. 1. How do you know you want to go into medicine, what specialty do you think you'll enter? 2. Name a time you've failed and what you learned 3. Name a weakness and how you're improving it 4. WHat characteristics do you have that you think will make you into a good physician 5. Where do you see the future of medicine going (policy wise) and how will that affect your practice 6. Describe any leadership positions you've held. That's all I can think of, hopefuly that helps someone! " More from this Member | Report Response

It is one of the most beautiful hospitals I have ever been in and the school uses some of the most innovative technology in educating its students. It was my first interview with a student but she was very friendly and encouraging and the professor who interviewed me was extremely nice as well. The admissions office staff member who conducted the tour and spent most of the day with us was very knowledgable about the school and Washington, DC itself. He was willing to answer any questions we had and knew the answers to all. Students had lunch with us and they were helpful in further answering our questions.

"We arrived at 10am and were done by 2. Had a tour of the hospital, brief talk about curriculum and lunch. I had two interviews, one with a second year med student and one with a professor. The professor was very...pompous and asked a lot of healthcare questions and then spent 20 minutes lecturing me on how medicine is a business and I shouldn't think of doctors as bad people if they don't take medicare. The student interview was really relaxed though, almost too relaxed." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, the student interview was really nice and relaxed. She just wanted to understand me better as a person, which was great. On the other hand, once they find out your interests, be prepared to talk about it intelligently." More from this Member | Report Response

"There is a student interviewer (M2) and a physician/faculty member interviewer. Overall it was a fun day just hanging out with the other applicants and talking to med students that stop by for lunch. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The day started off with a brief presentation by a member of the admissions staff. We then had a tour given by the same person. During lunch, we were called out one by one for our interviews. My first interview was with a plastic surgeon, and my second was with a M4. The interview was closed, so there were lots of "describe yourself" questions. Overall, the day was very low-key. Once the interviews were over, we were free to leave. " More from this Member | Report Response

"My interview sucked, but I already had decided it wasn't for me before the interview. I had acceptances with scholarships at good schools." More from this Member | Report Response

"The whole school is pretty much crap. Surprisingly, the interviewer, an attending psychiatrist, actually told me that GW is not a very good school and you are better off going to Georgetown or Hopkins (because she knew that GW was my backup school). And the whole health care situation and financial situation at GW is worsening, despite the new hospital they built. My impression of the place is 1)really shitty equipments; 2)Unhappy students; 3)Arrogant admission staffs (inferiority complex). And there was even one stiff old-timer interviewer whose name is Biggaloo (instantly the face of Rob Schinder poped out in my mind). GW is such a back-up school with an attitude of top-20 wanna-be. The tuition is ridiculous. DC sucks." More from this Member | Report Response

"Visiting GW was a nice experience. The tour was very well organized and they really impressed me with the hospital. My interviewer was incredibly nice and we had a pleasant conversation where he was convincing me to come to GW. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The day was well organized and it was not that stressful. We took a tour first and then returned to a conference room for lunch and waited for our interviews. All the students seemed very happy there and did not have one bad thing to say about the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"GWU was great, i loved it. my experience in dc was awesome too, although i've heard bad things about the safety in dc. also the student interviewer i had was fun to talk to and told me a lot about the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"All interviewees have one interview with a first- or second-year student and one with a faculty member. I can understand interviewing with an MS4, but I was uncomfortable meeting with someone who had yet to begin rotations (and thus couldn't tell me about the 'complete' experience there). The interview schedule with faculty members was disorganized (see below) and gave me a poor impression of the degree to which they take care of their students. I was turned off by the school aesthetically; even the hallways in the hospital were narrow and crowded. Tuition is ridiculous." More from this Member | Report Response

"two interviews, one by student another by a MD, both bout 25-30 min...nothing to stress about...just be yourself...remember that since it is closed-file, if there is something you want to talk about YOU should bring it up" More from this Member | Report Response

"I had to wait a long time before my interviewer came. there is this overwhelming attitude that they don't care about the students. they did not care to make a good impression becaue they have so many applicants." More from this Member | Report Response

"I loved the school, would be a great place to go to medical school and would go there no questions asked. However, I thought they did not spend nearly enough time during the actual interviews. That is what we are there for, so they can get to know us. The interview day is otherwise very relaxing and informative. Overall a great school but not enough time devoted to the 10min interviews" More from this Member | Report Response

"I was really impressed with the school and its facilities. I have nothing but good to say about my experience. Everyone was really nice and the other interviewees were really affable too. Everyone was talking and that really helped ease my tension alot." More from this Member | Report Response

"great experience. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview is very low-stress. My student interviewer really kept me on my toes, but the faculty interviewer just rushed me through. GW is nice for its emphasis on clinical care, but the price is nearly prohibitive for those hoping to actually go into primary care type residencies." More from this Member | Report Response

"very casual and conversational - i think that they want to see if you're normal" More from this Member | Report Response

"By far, this was my funnest interview day. It was pretty short, the other students in the group were fun. It was soooo laid back, I didn't even feel like I was really interviewing. I had a med student and a young chief resident who were both really nice and we just chatted for 1/2 hour. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Was a quick in & out experience. The interview was by the Dean. All the Deans seemed readily available and caring towards students." More from this Member | Report Response

"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. " More from this Member | Report Response

"school seems impersonal. students were cold and distant. some bashing of georgetown went on... the worst interview experience ever. Spent so much money and traveled from CA." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day is very laid back so there is no need to be nervous. You will have the opportunity to interact with current students so definitely take advantage of it and ask them any questions you have. You will interview with a student and a faculty member. Both are very casual "get to know you" interviews and you are encouraged to ask questions. You are served lunch and have the standard info sessions and the day ends with a tour. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Very informal student interview. Faculty interview was OK, he tried to stress me out, but didn't really succeed. Talked a lot about himself. Lunch was gourmet, hospital and med student teaching facilities were top-notch. Great school overall." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall I had a very positive experience and they go the extra mile to make you as comfortable as possible. The interviews themselves were purely conversational and just wanted to get to know us. That's the beauty of a blind interview!" More from this Member | Report Response

"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. " More from this Member | Report Response

"You have one student and one faculty interview. You'll be out by 2 pm or earlier depending when you are called by the interviewers. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviewers asked the EXACT same questions in the EXACT same order. It was mildly disappointing. I liked that the interview day started at 10:15. " More from this Member | Report Response

"odd that admissions faculty gave the tour, and not a med student. new hospital- amazing. ross hall, research facilities- a bit outdated, relatively. nice, stress-free atmosphere while speaking with med students and other applicants while waiting for interview. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I really like the school: program and all the opportunities. The interview process was a little short. I was there for 3 hours and 2 of those were a tour and lunch. One intervew was with a retired faculty member and the other was with a first year med student (different!) " More from this Member | Report Response

"I was basically just asked to describe myself. It was all about personality and whether you would fit with the school and their attitudes. They want people people." More from this Member | Report Response

"it's a nice school. great location, nice students, awesome hospital...not for me though." More from this Member | Report Response

"We were all in this really hot room in the library for most of the day with an admissions officer who lead the tour and info-session and coordinated our interviews. A few students stopped by and had lunch with us, but interviewers were pulling us out, so I never had more than a few mins at a time to chat, and felt like I was being watched by the guy from admissions and the interviewers. I didnt get to sit in on classes, but thats OK because the students rarely go anyway. I have actually received an acceptance from elsewhere and have since withdrawn my application." More from this Member | Report Response

"Awesome, if you can manage to pay for the school it is the place to be, the people were amazing and friendly and the hospital is just unreal. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Beautiful school and area. Everyone was really friendly. The student interview i had was about half being asked questions then the second half I was supposed to ask questions, have some in mind. The faculty interview was very conversational and surprisingly not stressful." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was very laid back. It was most of the applicants' first interview and everyone was extremely nice and it was the best group of applicants I've been with so far (after GW and 3 other schools)." More from this Member | Report Response

"pretty laid back. didn't understand the point of having closed-file since they asked you about your activities anyway. overall i got a pretty neutral impression of the school. not bad, but nothing really exciting about it either. location is good if you're interested in smithsonian and all the monuments in dc." More from this Member | Report Response

"After having so many expectations built up about how the day would go, it was surprisingly low-stress and almost anti-climactic. It was very hard to tell what they thought of me, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I am so happy I made it to this point in my life, but I know the real journey is still ahead." More from this Member | Report Response

"Brief tour of school and hospital followed by lunch. Then two interviews. Didn't take longer than 3.5 hours." More from this Member | Report Response

"I loved this school. Even more I loved this city. This is currently my #1 choice. I just hope I'm lucky to go here. First of all, DC is a beautiful city. You can't beat the transporation system and everyone in the city seems to have a purpose. You feel important and everyone's classy. As for the school, I loved their new hospital, their dummies that simulate live patients, the nice students and the very accomodating and kind staff. Now all I can think of is "Big Envelope, Big Envelope, Big Envelope..."" More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, a very positive experience and very stress-free." More from this Member | Report Response

"Both the medical student and physician who interviewed me seemed to have a genuine interest in attracting applicants who they thought were good bright people with a human ethic." More from this Member | Report Response

"Basically this day was overall low stress. It was my first interview so I think I worried too much. My student interview went very well. We had a lot in common and basically just chatted (backpacking, classical music, etc...). My faculty interview was with the one guy I heard other interviewees grumble over. He was very curt and wanted to convince me that I would give up everything to become a doctor. I didn't want to argue so I just kind of said what he wanted to hear. I knew he was from India, so I started talking about my travels in India and it turns out that I visited his home town in the Himalayan foothills. He seemed happy to talk about his city and then the interview was over as abruptly as it started. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Very laid back, student interviewer was in jeans which was comforting. The doctor who interviewed me was friendly and seemed like he genuinely wanted the best for me, not out to trick me or anyting like that." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall a very good experience, especially if it's a first interview since it's so unstressful. Don't worry too much, just be yourself and let your motivation to go into medicine shine through in the interview!" More from this Member | Report Response

"They really sold me on GW. Everyone seemed happy to be there, happy with their choice of school. The facilities and programs were excellent, GW has now become one of my top choices because of my positive interview experiences." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a good time, much better than I expected. Hospital is great. med students say it's not cutthroat there. It felt a bit formal at first, but the interview day loosened up considerably as time went on" More from this Member | Report Response

"all in all I was impressed with the school. students seemed happy and enthusiastic and there seems to be a real commitment on behalf of the faculty/adminstration to serve the students well." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview experience was very nice. Since it was my first, I expected to be very nervous however I was very surprised that I did not become nervous one bit. I was interviewing for an early selection program into the medical school, not regular admissions. The overall experience was very good, not bad for my first interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had two interviews, one student and one faculty. Neither was stressful. I think GW's strength (for me) is in its location, choices of hospitals for 3rd and 4th year, and pretty good emphasis on diversity. Overall, however, I was not impressed, esp. b/c of how expensive it seemed. Even after interviewing, I couldn't get a sense of the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"They interviewed about 20 ppl that day- I was one of like 5 girls. The day lasted way longer than I expected because my interviews ended late. " More from this Member | Report Response

"My first interviewer was a second year student who asked me pretty standard questions. She was quite friendly and helpful despite having an exam scheduled an hour later though. The second interviewer was a veteran faculty member who initially seemed hell bent on stressing me out but mellowed out later." More from this Member | Report Response

"typical interview day, tour, lunch, interviews. was my first closed-file interview and was annoying that spent most of interview explaining things that were already in my file when could have been talking about different things." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a very laid back experience. I was impressed with the presentation that Darrell gave about the school. Both of my interviewers seemed very interested in finding out more about me and willing to answer any questions that I had about the school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, the interview is stress free. I was interviewed by a retired physician, and an M2 student. Like I said GW is a great school that is very diverse in their student population and offers a curriculum that exposes you to patients within your first week. Great program!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Mine may have been a special circumstance in that the University had cancelled classes for a snow day, but it was not fun. There was one guy who told me to go to my interview, but never even said his name or his job. I think he was a med student filling in for an admissions staffer. We did not get the scheduled financial aid or admissions meetings. We had an interview and were told we would have some sessions, but upon returning to the gathering room, we were told to leave because no one was there to give tours or info sessions. We came to DC for a 20 minute chat with a doctor that I can not see how it would help an application. I'm telling this not only to complain(that's fun too though) but also to show what GW is like when they don't care about impressing anyone. They completely blew us off which was frustrating after paying $300 to come and interview at a school where I really had wanted to go." More from this Member | Report Response

"Don't go here unless you really feel you could thrive in the environment theyoffer." More from this Member | Report Response

"I think I've spoken enough! If I were independently wealthy, this is a school I'd consider without a second thought. That not being the case, I'll have to consider finances when making a final decision on GwU." More from this Member | Report Response

"THe presentation of the GW program was less than impressive. I did not feel like we were at the medical school. It may have been a function of visiting the school near exams. The students we me were very interesting people though. I would say the greatest strength of the school is an exciting, non-competitive student body that would make medical school fun." More from this Member | Report Response

"The admissions officer was informative and easy to talk to. He eased my anxiety by stating we all were accepted on paper but GW obviously can not accept 1000 students. So it made me feel that I was wanted by GW is much as I want them. Interviews were really laid back and was more like a conversation among new friends." More from this Member | Report Response

"the school moved up on my list. my only qualms about attending would be that it i'd be far from family(i'm from CA). but from what i saw gwu trains people to become very good physicians. " More from this Member | Report Response

"the funny thing was that i didn't want to leave. the day was organized so well compared to other medical school interviews i had, and it was the tuesday before thanksgiving! daryl did such a great job, and funny too! the price is high, but if accepted i would have to think about it, which i didn't before. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall a very positive experience. The faculty seem very friendly and they get along great with the students. The location is great, but damn was it cold(coming from 85F in Cali). Would definitely consider the school if I get in." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was my first interview and I was very anxious, but it turned to be low-stressed." More from this Member | Report Response

"There were a lot of people being interviewed in one day (21). Darrell is pretty hard core when he goes over his spiel about the school. The faculty interview was awesome...very friendly and laid back. The student interview was equally stress-free. Don't worry about the interview...learn as much as you can about the school. It has some very unique programs. Lunch was pretty bad...very little time to eat." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was kind of a blah experience. There was nothing awful but nothing impressive either. There seemed to be nothing unique or special about the school that they felt was the applicants needed to know. It's like the school is just there. Take it or leave it." More from this Member | Report Response

"decent, everyone was very friendly, but also very lax. great place to do residency, because of the hospital. classrooms were run-down. " More from this Member | Report Response

"after my interview day, the school went right to my last choice." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview is laid back. Darrel is awesome, and really makes you feel welcome. Just be prepared for basic questions (see below). Try to stay with someone you know. Hotels are over 120/night. DC is a great city, but it is expensive. Go to Georgetown for some fun, it is an awesome part of the city. The white house is only 5 blocks from the school, and the other monuments are also within walking distance. If possible, fly into REAGAN/NATIONAL airport, because there is a metro stop there. From that metro stop, you can get to almost anywhere in the city, northern virginia, and marylyand. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Great city and location, Amazing faculty interviewer made positive impression, some students were friendly, others not so much" More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall it went alright. They do their best to calm you before the actual interviews. My first interview was with a doctor who was not very friendly. She asked many questions and literally would write down every word I said, often feeling that I had to stop and wait for her to catch-up, which made me lose my thought process. The second interviewer was very chill, laid back and talkative (but precise and focused). He had his feet up on the desk and was swearing rather often, which actually did a good job to relax me." More from this Member | Report Response

"a ridiculous waste of time. interview process is not taken seriously by either student or faculty interviewers. student talked about himself the whole time and faculty was a very sweet old man but seemed a bit confused. asked no med-school related questions and gave me candy in the end. threw out random questions and allowed approx 5 seconds for each response, saying "hooray! i'm going home early today!" i don't think either interviewers/interviewee made much of an impression on each other." More from this Member | Report Response

"I really enjoyed visiting GW, for its emphasis on patient care and cooperative learning. The interview was EXTREMELY low-stress . . . it's more to supplement your application than to evaluate you (or so I think . . .) Definitely a great interview experience, designed to be as little stress as possible." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview experience was very relaxed, since both interviews are close-file the interviewers know nothing about you. So this is a great opportunity to talk yourself up and also find out about the interviewers. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall it was a good experience. The interviews were not stressful and I learned a lot about the school and got to talk to a lot of the students. Be yourself and you will do fine." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very Possitive. My interviewers were great!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Very laid back interviews, with faculty interview being slightly more stressful. Darrel Villaruz is very candid and answers many of the questions you may have. He also sets your mind at ease going in to the interviews. Day was a bit long." More from this Member | Report Response

"I really liked my second interviewer, a PhD; we talked about my research a lot. There wasn't one big tour -- an admissions counselor showed us the hospital, neighborhood, and gym, while a student showed the lecture halls and labs. The main tour was at the end of the day, an hour after my last interview, so we were all tired. The fact that it was a rainy day didn't help, though the Metro stop is right by the entrance." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall the interview was extremely laid back. Don't stress about it at all. There are meant to be just a regular conversation. I got asked a lot of non-medicine questions, so be prepared to talk about other things. The new hospital is pretty amazing and the lunch was good." More from this Member | Report Response

"relaxed and chill, meant to sell you gw not put you in the hot seat, definitely made me excited about medical school!" More from this Member | Report Response

"first interview with a 2nd year student-- relaxed and conversation-like. 2nd interview with a Dr. from the community-- that one was stressful, he interrupted, told me to cut the niceties, etc. That one shook me up, and other friends who interviewed there had similar experiences" More from this Member | Report Response

"pretty friendly. the student interview was very conversational, and the faculty interview was pretty informative more than anything. the student body seemed cohesive and there seemed to be a lot of opportunity. the big deterrent i found was the price" More from this Member | Report Response

"i would love to go here!!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"they really seemed to want to find out how high gw was on your list. although one interviewer said, "if you get into harvard and you get into here, go to harvard" which i thought was funny. if anything, i felt like i didn't get enough of an opportunity to make the points i'd been focusing on when practicing interviews with my roommate." More from this Member | Report Response

"My faculty interviewer was a psychiatrist. He was not unpolite, but he was cold and very matter-of-fact. A far cry from my student interviewer, who was very laid-back and conversational (and cute!). The psychiatrist had a list of questions on a sheet of paper in front of him, which he kept looking at and wrote answers to (in list form) as I answered his questions.
