Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed very happy. Wash U's facilities are absolutely amazing. The doctor that interviewed me was very kind and really did a great job of making me comfortable and getting to know me during the interview. I really appreciate that because it hasn't been the case at some med schools I've interviewed at. Olin Hall isn't anything fancy, but I it was nothing to complain of. Staying there greatly simplified the interview day.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the other interviewees didn't seem very friendly. This doesn't mean they will be my classmates, however, and all the students I met at WashU were very friendly.

That you can't get health insurance through the school for your spouse (I'm married)

What are your general comments?

I was very impressed with Wash U. It seems that they make their school a great environment. This was my first interview, so I was pretty nervous going in. The interview was very low stress, however, and I found myself really enjoying the conversation my interviewer and I had. Although the students I met were very intelligent people, they were friendly and not eggheads. I was accepted about a month after my interview!
