Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The affiliated hospitals, the number of activities they have planned for the day, the fact that I got to go home right after my interview and that they seemed to care about my flight schedule.

What impressed you negatively?

It seemed like the interview process was too mechanized. As if, they took the highest scoring students from all over the country and bunched them all together. There were so many interviewees. They processed us like cheese. Also, the area surrounding the school is awful. Smokestacks everywhere.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I wouldn't offend anyone if I failed to ask for a buddy. I dont't think anyone else asked for one. I just wanted to seem more interested than I really was.

What are your general comments?

Washington U. has a great reputation (probably for a good reason), but they don't seem to have any soul. They just want to get the smartest kids together without giving much thought to having a real mission statement. You could just feel that you were surrounded by a bunch of nerds. Granted med students are all a bit nerdy, it was just wierd there. They didn't seem to care about who we were. The dean gave a phony explanation as to why they only do one interview vs. two. I think that they just care about what's on paper and not what's in your mind or your heart. My interview was very nice but very short.
