bastein Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hi All, I just received on invitation to interview on Saturday, October 15. I am thrilled! Also, I am a current Masters student (MPH) here at GWU and live on campus so I am more than happy to answer any questions about lodging, transportation, location of Ross Hall, etc. Just send me a message!

DDIAZ028 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I am flying in Friday morning, so I will definitely be attending the Friday night. Not sure yet on the details, but I will definitely be there. Hope to see some of you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amz Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Congrats to everyone who received interviews! For those of you interviewing on Sept. 24th, did you get the e-mail about the Friday night social thing? I was wondering how casual/dressed up you think we should be? It looks like it's gonna be a restaurant/bar kind of atmosphere. Looking forward to meeting everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balexandra Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hi Amna -- where is the reception? I am a current student at GWU and live in the area so could probably give some insight into proper dress for that location if you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balexandra Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Try The River Inn on 25th street. It is 2 blocks from Ross Hall (where interviews are) and is usually fairly inexpensive, in a safe neighborhood, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it's gonna be a restaurant/bar kind of atmosphere. Looking forward to meeting everyone! I'd feel pretty goofy wearing a suit in a bar so I'm going to go for something professional but slightly more casual. I'll probably wear dark pants with a conservative top. I'm sure guys could wear a button-down without a tie or a nice polo w/ a belt. See you in a few days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taotaox1 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Business casual would be the appropriate choice. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalUCF Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi all, I'll be at the interview this weekend on the 24th, and I'll also be going to the Friday night event. I interviewed at UF, and they had a similar event where most people were dressed casual, but I'm probably going to dress business casual just in case. Better to be overdressed than underdressed! Can't wait to meet everyone. See you this weekend! Cally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amz Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi balexandra, the social is at McFadden's Restaurant & Saloon over on Pennsylvania Ave. Thanks for the input! Hi Amna -- where is the reception? I am a current student at GWU and live in the area so could probably give some insight into proper dress for that location if you want!

amz Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I figured dark jeans would be borderline too casual so as CalUCF said, better to be overdressed than underdressed! I'd feel pretty goofy wearing a suit in a bar so I'm going to go for something professional but slightly more casual. I'll probably wear dark pants with a conservative top. I'm sure guys could wear a button-down without a tie or a nice polo w/ a belt. See you in a few days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDIAZ028 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Don't worry guys, I will be overdressed with you! I'm planning to wear a conservative dress I got at Ann Taylor. Looking forward to meeting everyone, hope you all have a safe (and undelayed) flight! :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimrgal02 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 To everyone interviewing this weekend: I'm staying at the GWU Inn, most likely without a car. If you want to meet up to walk over to Ross Hall on Sat morning, PM me. Also, I may end up having to hoof it from the Inn to McFadden's and back again on Friday night depending on my friend's car situation, so if you're planning on doing the same we might as well walk together. I'm a big fan of the buddy system. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bastein Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 for all attending the happy hour at McFaddens - it is a VERY casual bar. It is where I watch football on Sundays and is also a favorite of the undergrads here at GW and is only about 3 blocks from Ross Hall. As far as dress, I would say just about anything would be fine. I have spoken to many first year PA students who will be there and it sounds like an extremely informal, fun, relaxing event to socialize with current students. As for those interviewing on October 15 -- I will see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bastein Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 GWU just called to ask if I could switch my interview date from 10/15 to TOMORROW! I look forward to meeting some of you tonight at McFaddens! If anyone is interested in grabbing dinner or something after, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PArunner Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Congrats to all of those that interviewed this past weekend! I have an interview in Oct - does anyone have any awesome suggestions or want to let us know how it went? No obligations! I'm very excited to interview at GW and wish everyone good luck.
