No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application, looked at the website, talked to some students I knew, and read SDN feedback

What impressed you positively?

The students really seemed to emphasize that the atmosphere at Wash U is not competitive; the students seemed very friendly, sociable, and happy; the Barnes-Jewish complex has something like 1400 beds and is top 10 in nearly every specialty; new teaching and learning center is awesome and each 1st/2nd year is assigned their own work area.

What impressed you negatively?

The first year classes don't sound like they correlate very well with one another; the grading system changes between 1st and 2nd year; the advising program is unclear.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My day had two hour-long breaks in which I sat in the admissions office- the schedule could have been better planned or I should have brought a book.

What are your general comments?

Wash U is an amazing school with wonderful students and faculty. I had a wonderful visit and no major complaints about the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
