What impressed you positively?

"I really enjoyed Ms. Sullivan - she's awesomely cool. Oh, and Georgina's a total soccer mom (she called herself that, too!). I liked how Georgetown took the time to talk about its curriculum and mission - and how the Jesuit tradition can be marginalized in everyday life (this was a concern of mine)." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The students giving the tour - seemed jocky and a bit vapid. Everything social seems to be centered around beer; this is fine some of the time, but not for all events. I thought the tour was a waste of time - we didn't SEE anything! Not the anatomy labs, nor the hospital (aside from the Peds' floor). I wasn't certain why we just walked around aimlessly for such a long time...totally disorganized (which, again, is a shame mainly because the rest of the day was very, very organized). I also didn't like waiting in suspense for my interviewer - it just seemed a bit excessive. Why make us wait for so long? Why not have our interviews set up at the beginning of the day so we know? Also, no nametags! I like them. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The day, as many have said, was a bit long. By the time my interview started, I was a little tired and had the beginnings of a migraine. All of the talks were very informative and helpful - I would have preferred, however, that we had had our interview in between one of the talks. After Ms. Sullivan spoke, we were taken by MS1s and 2s first for lunch (yummy) and then on a tour of...well...I'm not sure of what. We saw some of the medical school building...and a floor in the hospital...and other buildings were pointed out - but we never went there. We did see the MS1 classroom (very nice) and some new facilities for patient-based clinical correlative exercises (also very nice), and the student lounge (nice), but that was it. Then we went back to the fishbowl (which, btw, looks nothing like a fishbowl and was really, really hot) and just hung out until our next talk. After that, we were plucked up for interviews one-by-one. Very long day. But I do feel like I know a heck of a lot about Georgetown now." Report Response
