george washington interview

finnpipette · Aug 18, 2003

I just got mine. Is anyone gonna stay at the hotel they recommended? $119...pricey. 🙁

Lux Aeterna · Aug 18, 2003

hey finn, I got one too, but I'm gonna have to reschedule mine. I'm not staying at their hotel-pricey is right! I'm fortunate enough to be close enough to take the train down EARRRRRLY morning and back at night.

Hey - got one too. I guess they don't have student hosts ...

donuthole · Aug 18, 2003

when did you guys who got the interviews turn in your app to GW?

finnpipette · Aug 18, 2003

i turned my secondaries in about this time in july

cather · Aug 18, 2003

I got an interview too. It's my first interview and I am really excited. When is yours? Mine is September 11.

My application was complete around August 8. Anyway, I live near DC so I think I am going to take the Metro to GW. There's a metro stop right at GW.

vikvaz · Aug 18, 2003

congrats on the interviews! for those of you who have gotten the interview invites, can you post your stats (mcat, gpa, etc)? also, when were ur applications complete there? thanks!

tidbit218 · Aug 18, 2003

Hey. I got my invite today for September 16th. I'm flying out from CA, but I'll be staying with a friend in the area. Since I'm applying MSTP (and there's relatively few of us), I'd rather not post my stats, but anyone can pm me if interested. Good luck everyone. 🙂

I go to school in DC. Take jetBlue from long beach to washington dulles. You can take the washington flyer to the DC Metro, which the goes directly to georgetown. Its also a lot cheaper.

You can fly into Dulles (IAD) or Reagan (DCA)
baltimore (BWI) is a little further north than you'd like.

jefras99 · Aug 19, 2003

How did they notify you guys about the interview?

Lux Aeterna · Aug 19, 2003

jefras- snail mail

finnpipette · Aug 19, 2003

transportation: i'm flying jet blue, in from oakland...they have the best hours and schedules for my needs.

How far would the Baltimore airport be from GW? I'm searching for tickets right now and flying into BWI would save me over a hundred dollars .... I would like to save the money, if the trip to GW is not too complicated. Please help!

greenie8 · Aug 20, 2003

Dara,

I live in Baltimore, not DC..so if any of you DCers have more advice chime in...

If you fly into BWI you can take the MARC train directly from the airport (actually there is a shuttle bus from ground transportation that 1st takes you to the MARC station but it's only 5min) to Union Station in DC...then you use the Metro to get to GW. The MARC is really fast and you should be in DC in no longer than 45 min. Look up the schedule online.

Hope this helps
Greenie

medorbust · Aug 21, 2003

do you guys know how far the metro station is from regan international? are there free shuttles connecting both?

Eraserhead · Aug 21, 2003

I GOT MY INVITE TODAY, FIRST INTERVIEW....

So is anyone here from CA? Anyone else on a tight budget?

What's the cheapest hotel people have found? Cheapest plane from SF or Oakland?

:clap:

ATPase · Aug 21, 2003

This is my first interview (it was also the first secondary I turned back in, and my file was complete Aug 11 or 12). I'm from Alabama but luckily don't have to shell out $119 for their hotel because my dad lives in Northern Virginia. I'm flying Southwest into BWI very cheap.

Stats: GPA 3.8, MCAT 34

Eraserhead · Aug 21, 2003

How would I get from BWI to the hotel or GW area?

ATPase · Aug 21, 2003

It's pretty cheap. Takes about an hour from BWI to DC by car, not sure on this Washington Flyer shuttle (probably multiple stops along the way.)

Eraserhead · Aug 21, 2003

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but would a cheap hotel like the Allen Lee Hotel have an iron for my suit?

74 bucks is cheap!

Eraserhead · Aug 21, 2003

Before I buy my ticket,

going from SFO to IAD (which is Dulles I think), how easy is it to get to the GW area from the airport? is the metro right there?

needacceptance! · Aug 21, 2003

I went to GW undergrad and we whenever we would pass the Allen Lee we would wonder if a murder was taking place. It looks really weird from the outside, but maybe the inside is nice?

Eraserhead · Aug 21, 2003

well, it sounds like the best deal anyway.... after living right off Telegraph in Berkeley I'm sure I can take it....

they said they have an iron at the front desk so what else do i need really besides a bed and shower.

IAD is dulles. youll need to take the Washington Flyer for 7 bucks to the metro yellow line which goes directly to GWU/foggy bottom. What date is yours btw?

Eraserhead · Aug 21, 2003

9/18 Yeah, I'm still look at flights, so there's no advantage to picking National over Dulles with this shuttle to the metro right?

Dulles seems to have better times and prices for me....

Hey me too, guess ill meet you there!

or lets meet up the night before, and get trashed. 😀

exmike · Aug 21, 2003

well going into DCA will save you 7 bucks on washington flyer fare 😛

Eraserhead · Aug 21, 2003

Ugh, well it seems that everything is about 303.00 bucks for either airport.... but the times are horribly inconvenient for taking the BART to the SF airport, I"ll have to figure this out tonight....

Eraserhead · Aug 21, 2003

OK so one more question, if my interview is at 10:15am, can i catch a flight leaving IAD at 5:20pm?

DW · Aug 21, 2003

there is a metro stop right at reagan international airport. foggy bottom/gw is only a few stops away

hmm, no student hosting at GW? i forgot about that.......maybe this is one of those opportunities for those DC area SDNers to show some goodwill towards their fellow applicants 😀

the tour was the last thing during my interview day last year, and it ended around 3pm last year. you should be able to make it to dulles in enough time if you head out immediately after the interview, and if you're worried about it you can always cut out of the tour a little early

nrddct · Aug 21, 2003

how was the interview like? was it pretty relaxed? thanks

I thought it was one of the most chill interview days i had. they do "blind" interviews there (the interviewers dont look at your application file beforehand) and they were both really conversational and no stress. One is with a student and the other is with a faculty (i had the dean of admissions), and both were really just "getting to know you" interviews 😎

medorbust · Aug 22, 2003

i'm thinking of staying at a hotel (days inn...or any that has a shuttle to the airport/metro) near dca so that i could just hop the blue line in morning and go straight to gw. for dc snders, is that a good plan?

Grumpy Bear · Aug 22, 2003

When were all of your applications complete at GW and when did they offer you an interview? Good luck everyone!

nrddct · Aug 22, 2003

did ya'll include a photo with your secondaries?

ATPase · Aug 22, 2003

I did. For those of you who included a photo with your secondary, are you bringing an additional one with you to the interview? Are we supposed to?

I dunno if the allen lee hotel is such a good idea. here are the reviews http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Re...n_Lee-Washington_DC_District_of_Columbia.html

finnpipette · Aug 22, 2003

anyone willing to split the costs of a hotel room for a night on sept 17th at the georgetown holiday inn? with two double beds i believe that brings the cost down to about ~65

male college student from bay area.

dara678 · Aug 22, 2003

Hi fellow GW interviewees,

I'll be staying at the Holiday Inn Georgetown (what they recommended) on Sept. 11. Apparently, if you fly into DCA, you can get on the metro and go to the foggy bottom metro stop, and then the hotel can pick you up from there. It seems quite convenient. 🙂 Anyways, hope to see some SDNers there!

I'm nervous already!

Actually, they do have student hosts. I gave my email when i called to schedule my interview but the student in charge of the hosting program has not gotten back to me yet (that was a week ago).😱

Lux Aeterna · Oct 20, 2003

Did anyone who interviewed in early September not hear back from GW yet? I've been out for the past week, so my mail was on hold at the post office and I've been getting it back in snippets... I don't know if I just didn't get any correspondence from GW or if I'll just get something soon in the mail.

ATPase · Oct 21, 2003

Hey Lux -

I interviewed at GW on their first interview day and I haven't heard anything yet. Granted, I live several states away, but the mail shouldn't be that slow...
