The Double Tree on New Hampshire is super duper close. Also, they give you cookies when you check in. Butttttt, it is expensive ($250).

I stayed there mainly because it was really close to the school -- like a 2 minutes if you walk. Just make a right onto I street, and you are there!!

Best wishes.

I stayed at the Hotel Lombardy. Its about 2 blocks from the medical school, and is a very nice place (pretty upscale... their elevators are old-style with an attendant operating it at all times... lol its the little things like that I like). They also upgraded me to a very nice suite for no reason when I checked in, which was pretty awesome. It cost $150 and I would definitely go back again. Its also in a great area with a bunch of restaurants nearby.

wow. 11,000+ huh?? Yet they have this huge wait list! Hopefully I get an acceptance! Wish me luck. Thanks for the lodging tips!

11,000?? Wow, that's almost one in three med school applicants applies to GW.

I stayed at the George Washington University Inn. This is a link from GWU.

It's a refurbished older hotel right in the neighborhood and you walk about a block to get to the school....couldn't be more convenient.

I'll be there on 1/27 and I'm staying the GW Inn. Was it a nice place (Not that it really matters) just curious

Yes, I thought it was nice. You can tell it's an older hotel that has been upgraded, but it's very comfortable and quiet (a big issue for me). The location just can't be beat. You can walk to the front door of Ross Hall is less than 5 minutes. The front desk people were very nice. Make sure they know you are in town for an interview at the school of medicine. Good luck at your interview!

Hey Desi -- pre-interview holds were through email, everything else (interview invite, alternate letter, acceptance, rejection) is through regular mail.

Hope that helps

Which airport is best to take into DC to get to GWU??

 

[dsprague12]

Which airport is best to take into DC to get to GWU??

Reagan National - DCA is on the Metro. Dulles - IAD has a shuttle from the airport to the Metro that costs something like $10. Both are pretty convenient, but National is most convenient. BWI is too far away.

Thanks!
