How did you prepare for the interview?

Read and reviewed the website, viewbook, MSAR, and my AMCAS application

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are are new and beautiful. Anatomy lab has windows! Love that is has a separate children's hospital right there. Students seemed genuinely happy and friendly - two different med students stopped me randomly during the day to wish me luck. Excellent academic reputation, extensive research opportunities. The atmosphere seemed really cooperative and non-competitive. Administration and faculty seem genuinely interested in the needs and concerns of the students.

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition is high. Also my tour guide said the worst part about going to Wash. U is the weather in St. Louis.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

St. Louis was a surprisingly nice city (wasn't expecting to like it at all). Didn't realize the med school had such a non-competitive, friendly atmosphere.

What are your general comments?

Interviewer was very friendly. Asked all the basic interview questions about my extracurriculars, majors, family, experiences, etc. Wanted to know how I became interested in medicine and asked a few general medical ethics questions (nothing too difficult). When she found out I was staying that night in St. Louis, she gave me lots of recommendations on things to do in the city. Part of the interview was more conversational where we discussed books, interests, etc.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
