"The basic 3: Tell me about yourself / What attracts you to our program / When did you decide on a career in medicine" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"How will the public option, if passed, affect physicians." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Specific questions related to my file. However, the answer to these questions were already in my file (when did you do this activity...what was that like...)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"None of them were interesting. All were cookie-cutter questions. My interviewer didn't really do his part to interact with me and spent too much idle time glancing through my file." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What was difficult was trying to make a friendly connection with the interviewer. He didn't seem to want to be there." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"There are apparently three questions the interviewee will be asked to answer: Why Georgetown, Why medicine, and What's going on with HC Reform. The rest is verification of your file." Report Response
"Nothing." Report Response
"Everything. If I had known what I know now, I wouldn't have wasted my day there. The curriculum has a bad track record - it seems to be continually evolving due to student complaints. The facilities are awful. Just see for yourself. The admissions staff are the rudest I've come across yet. Georgetown is too focused on emphasizing that it selects a very particular kind of student for its class, and after meeting some of the students, I seriously question the criteria. Georgetown continually ranks poorly as a medical school, and the reasons become apparent on the interview day. Also, I asked the students if the teaching faculty was good, and they unanimously told me that they were disappointed with their lecturers." Report Response

"From beginning to end, the interview day is impersonal and disappointing. It would be nice to be greeted by someone, or better yet, be introduced to the program by someone with a somewhat up-beat attitude. Everyone with whom we interacted was rude and unfriendly." Report Response
