Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

clinical facilities: these were superb, diverse, and booming. you can tell they have a lot of money. there is a mix of private and public facilities, as well as every specialty you could ever think of other applicants: the people I interviewed with were normal people, who I'd be glad to spend 4 years with financial aid: the overall cost is very reasonable for such a prestigious school

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Olin Hall: this is very much a typical dorm. if i end up at WashU, I won't be living in Olin. Lecture Halls: nothing intrisically wrong with them, they're just rather standard and the desks looked rather small. they're building new, though I don't think it'd be ready before my class would start 3rd year.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing - they were very good about providing all the information I needed, both about the school and the logistics of the visit

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

WashU certainly seems entitled to their reputation as a top school. The clinical facilities are better than most every I've seen while interviewing. The interview day goes from around 8 till 3, but it's rather loosely structured. You'll probably have some free time to wander about and sit in on lectures. You only get 1 interview and it's open-file. Mine was very stress-free. My interviewer seemed intent on mainly seeing how I communicate my ideas, and never even grilled me on why I haven't done research. I got the impression she simply wanted to see how I'd fit into the WashU "family." You can also tell that WashU realizes they're competing with the schools on the coasts, and I think they make a good sell. St. Louis seemed like a very liveable city to me, with enough stuff to do. They were also nice enough to let us know that us late interviewees still had a shot at acceptances, not just waitlist position.
