"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" Report Response

"How much debt I'd be in if I went to this school. It's just not worth it." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"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." Report Response
