Lots of questions directly relating to what you indicated on your application. Both of my interviewers thorougly read my application and knew a LOT about me long before I walked into the interview room. ''So tell me about this book you read...'' (That was my personal statement topic)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread both applications to remember what I said; practiced speaking before going to bed; thought about answers to tough interview questions commonly asked at med school interviews (do research on the Internet to learn what they are)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Omg. Before I came I thought of this school as a practice interview; I was even thinking of just withdrawing because I was so sure I wouldn't attend. Now it's one of my top hopefuls. Everything about my visit impressed me. The generosity, warmth, and pride of both the students and faculty; the facilities; the fact that the medical school/center is like a world within itself; and the fact that the student body is by far the most diverse I've seen so far, with students from every background as well as every state in the nation!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

IMHO Olin Hall was less than impressive :> The rooms are tiny dorm rooms with NOTHING but a bed, a closet, a chair, and a heater, and even the oldest dorms at my undergrad institution seem better kept. BUT I would still happily live there if I ever became a student at WashU, I mean come on, it's directly connected to the school and nothing is better than being able to wake up 5 mins before class and attend in pijamas while everyone else had to wear coats and scarves to get to class

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It snows in St. Louis! (Yes, I am an ignorant out-of-stater :>)
