   For easier elective classes, check out the name of the professor and go to ratemyprofessor.com - thats the most useful tool i have found for avoiding really difficult classes. I have not heard anyone say that nutrition has been difficult. For researc...

   Hi Poppys mom - you have to do the MSN portion part time. WHC will pay their employees 10k per year if they seek an MSN. I am definitely taking advantage of this!!!! Its a great teaching hospital. I may be wrong, but I think they make direct entry...

   Hi Gentle Giant.. In a typical week, I go to school 4 days, including my clinical so I have Fri-Sun off which is great. As far as studying goes, I am one of those last minute people, so I just study right before a test... I do not continually study a...

   Hi Natalie! I am extremely happy to be at Georgetown! Yes, you start clinicals about three weeks after school starts and we just finished up our first semester. WHC was awesome, I really enjoyed it there and all the clinical instructors from WHC are ...

   I'm definitely not a plant in the program - I'm in my first semester and I'm a WHC scholar. There are options for tuition repayment because I looked into all kinds of options when I was applying to schools. There is even the National Guard which is ...

   Cynical and miserable about what? Just curious... I can see how the program grinds you down.. its not easy, but I don't think it should be. Plus, being accelerated students means we all have a lot of school behind us and most of us are just ready to...

   I would like to know what they mean by "disorganized".. I mean, did any of them who said that give any examples? I would personally say the opposite. Gtown has been on top of everything and the staff/professors are all very receptive and supportive. ...

   Hi there! After my interview I felt so weird about it. It was so short, and they didnt ask a lot of questions... I thought I blew it. HAHA.. i was wrong! I got accepted. I personally think its designed that way so they can get a feel for who you are,...

   gkvegan - You aren't isolated at all. And you make friends easily within your cohort. Plus, you are so busy you do focus on the program, which is what you are there to do anyway. :) good luck! its awesome!!

    St Marys is really close to Epicurean, Leavy Hall.. and its a short walk from the medical library and the center of campus in general. Why would a second degree program be integretated with the traditional one? Its a seperate program on purpose. All ...

    Hi 2010 candidates! I attend Georgetown, and I LOVE It. I am a WHC scholar, and I love the program all around. I read that some people have heard a lot of negative things about the program, and my personal opinion is that it is all BS. From my experi...

    i really think it is worth it. If I had not had the WHC scholarship, I still would have come here. However, not a lot of people feel this way. I was SO excited to be a part of Georgetown, that paying for the name and experience was ok with me. It is ...
