"SDN, read secondary application, Georgetown website." Report Response
"Georgetown's philosophy is very unique and aligns to my own. Mrs. Sullivan was very honest, straightforward, and forthcoming. I wish this had been my first interview because she made some really good points about questions to ask at interviews and ways to evaluate schools. I found her to be very informative...she also memorized each interviewee's name, school, and various other info...this makes a nice impression. She may be too abrasive for some, but I like people who don't feed you bs. The faculty and staff impressed me." Report Response
"The first school I've interviewed at where students and faculty openly admit that there is a fair degree of competition. They claim this cannot be avoided and takes pressure off of USMLE exams. I find this argument convincing, but I'd still prefer a place that is more laid back and doesn't need competition to compel students to study. I think one can learn something (albeit minor) about a school by the type of people it interviews...This is a consideration I've made at each school b/c those people at the interview may end up as my classmates. Realizing its a tiny sample though, (and that the jerks may not be offered admission) I look for the overall attitude of the applicants. A few of the students seemed arrogant - ones I wouldn't want as classmates." Report Response
"A claim that 3rd-year students will frequently have 16-18 hr. work-days 7 days a week..that seems excessive. Nobody learns best when miserable, and having 6 hours a day to divide between sleep, talking with loved-ones, eating, and exercise is just not reasonable. " Report Response
"The day itself was very informative. Those who spoke to us were very straightforward and organized. I entered skeptical but found myself very impressed by Georgetown. I wish this had been my first interview since it was so informative and not very stressful." Report Response
