How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed viewbook on the plane. (I ran out of time.)

What impressed you positively?

Opportunities for exposure to wide variety of medicine, students were really interesting and seemed very happy, great facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

A large number (1/3 or so) of students live in Olin Hall, which, let's face it, is a dorm, complete with twin bed and rickety closet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My interviewer's research interests overlap with mine. I should have learned about him beforehand.

What are your general comments?

I was extremely impressed with Wash U. The interview was very low-stress, lots of just chatting about stuff that was only marginally related to med school. We talked for about an hour, which made me late to lunch, but it was worth it.
