How did you prepare for the interview?

read over my file, looked up the school online, spoke to current students

What impressed you positively?

the students seemed satisfied with their education, P/F for the first year is good

What impressed you negatively?

saint louis isn't the most exciting place in the world

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

it's cold, but most of the structures are connected - so a heavy coat to wear over your suit isn't necessary

What are your general comments?

they day is pretty standard - i'd say that the breakfast in the morning isn't very necessary, you'll get opportunities to talk to students at lunch anyway. i didn't go to the pizza party, but i had friends in STL so i didn't feel like socializing with other applicants was that important. overall, it's not a bad place, it's a pretty relaxing interview day and the education, allegedly, is top-notch. i've seen more impressive hospital facilities but Barnes-Jewish and its associated hospitals is definitely pretty huge. how this actually translates into your med school experience, i can't say, but it probably won't suffer for a lack of opportunities, if you look for them. maybe i'm just tired of interviewing, since this is my fifth, but i didn't get that great of a vibe from washU, although i'd be more than happy to get accepted.
