Great facilities, first year is P/F, students seem happy and relaxed, new library and some new classrooms, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

Students' lives seemed completely immersed in medicine--little outside interests. This could just be the sample I got.

Apparently St. Louis has the highest crime rate in the nation. I was surprised. I felt completely safe there.

What are your general comments?

Overall a wonderful experience. My two interviewers were very impressive. They were both warm and friendly and seemed genuinely interested in me. Both asked about activities on my AMCAS. The second asked about what attracted me to Wash U, and both talked to me about St. Louis and life in the midwest etc.
