Thanks

other than that...it's a very traditional school...jesuit...leans more towards clinical than research, but seems to be more research-oriented than the other jesuit schools. definitely gave me a cold vibe in all their correspondence...i've never visited the campus, though, so if anyone has more info or corrections, fire away.

yeah, georgetown has a big name to any patient or whatever who doesn't know much about medical schools, but if i had a choice to attend another school, i would definitely not attend georgetown.
besides, if im a patient who is looking through a kaiser diretory or whatever, i wouldn't go strictly based on what school they graduated from. i'd definitely bank more on the reputation of the physician through word of mouth or referrals from other doctors.
oh, yeah i think the best thing about georgetown is that it is in georgetown/D.C. it's one amazing city
