swimrgal02 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. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The interview was not stressful. The program director said something like "everyone is qualified to be here so relax and try to have fun." I was really impressed by the faculty, staff, and current students. You'll be divided into three groups: interviews, tour, and panel discussion. The medical campus is, of course, very impressive. The panel will consist of current students and alums, so you can ask anything. The first years act as guides during the day, and also eat lunch with your group. We were finished at 3pm.

mikemul65 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Congratulations! Getting bumped to Sept and then an early acceptance is the perfect storm of good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bastein Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 hi mikemul65 --- i'm not gary...:) I actually think we may have been in the same interview group? My name is Brooke. I actually heard of my acceptance in person since I am a current student here. I believe that notifications are being mailed or emailed (i'm not sure) and other early acceptances would be received late this week/early next week. Good luck everyone!

mikemul65 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I hate when I do that :;DD:. But this is terrific news and my fingers are crossed for the rest of the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taotaox1 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 BTW to the next interview group, relax (they are very nice, and don't throw out illegal/jerk questions) and look up Behavioral Interview questions. Don't bother having an answer for everything but use them as starting point to think up some good stories about yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimrgal02 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Excited!!! When I saw the GWU email, I thought it would be a link to a rejection but it was much better news! I was so impressed with the program and am thankful they gave us such quick notice! Good luck to everyone else interviewing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemul65 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 That is great news that you heard during the early admission period. You all deserve it. I'm not sure if they are still sending out notifications but I'll make the leap that the rest of us will hear in January. I still have my fingers crossed and good luck to everyone interviewing!

smw1817 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I decided to decline my offer of acceptance. Hopefully this opens up a slot ASAP for someone else!!! Best of luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laur Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 mikemul65, don't lose hope I've heard that most of last year's class heard later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Wajek Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 For those of you that went to the Friday night event with the first year students, are we allowed to bring a guest? My boyfriend is flying out with me since he's never been to DC. I'm planning to show him around Friday so he can get a feel for the town in case we end up moving there. Just wondering if he needs to entertain himself or if I can drag him along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PArunner Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hey Sara - I haven't gone yet but am going this Friday. I'm guessing from what I've read on the forum that tagging your BF around would not be a problem, it seems that it is very casual. Excited to see everyone on Friday! If anyone is in the DC area and would like to meet up sometime this week before Friday, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laur Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I attended the HH last month and it was VERY casual :) Some candidates brought significant others/friends/etc. Don't worry about dressing up, it's at a low-key bar in Foggy Bottom and only with first-year students.
