How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Application, Reviewed Wash U website and research, Looked up interviewer profile, SDN

What impressed you positively?

The facilities, faculty, and students are amazing. The whole interview was aimed at selling the school to us. I didnt feel like I had to prove I was capable or worthy of Wash U.

What impressed you negatively?

It rained the entire weekend. My wife and I did not fall in love with St. Louis.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Make sure you have an umbrella if the weatherman says it could rain. I had to walk outside to my interview...they will loan you an umbrella, but it isn't a very big one!

What are your general comments?

The interview was very enjoyable. It lasted almost an hour and a half and was mostly conversational. I was able to talk about what I wanted him to know about me. Several times he allowed me to initiate the conversation. Just know your application and answer questions honestly and you will do fine.
