The medical students who enroll in the SMHS are as diverse as the experiences and specialties offered. The 2009 entering medical school class ranged in age from 20 to 49, with an average age of 24. In stark contrast to those early days in 1884, last year's class was 58% female.

After serving as a marine for over 20 years, starting a family, and traveling the world, Bruce decided the time was finally right for him to attend medical school. As one of many “nontraditional” students, Bruce adds to the diversity of GW’s student body.
Since the beginning of the application process, GW has been exceptionally user-friendly, kind, and professional. They promote a clear commitment to student welfare, are proactive in helping students succeed, and empower us to show our true colors. They also offer one of the best clinical education programs in the country.
In effect, by attending GW, I am developing the confidence and clinical skills to provide my patients with exceptional care and respect—qualities that reflect the way GW treats me.
Further, the central location, the exceptional level of instruction, and the encouraging—rather than competitive—atmosphere make GW a perfect fit.
