What impressed you positively?

Fabulous facilities - fabulous curriculum - student body very open and friendly

What impressed you negatively?

The interview seemed almost TOO easy-going. Especially after some of us interviewees compared notes. Some of them seem to have gotten grilled.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the pizza party was a good opportunity to meet lots of students. I had too many obligations to make it. Also, Wash U is pretty open about the fact that they tend to lean toward specialization rather than primary care.

What are your general comments?

It was very easygoing. The interviewer seemed to already have a good impression of me and seemed to ask questions to simply confirm it. Then he spent the rest of the time telling me historical medical anecdotes. The breakfast, orientation, tour and lunch meetings were great. Everyone was very helpful.
