How did you prepare for the interview?

I read general interview questions and looked at the feedback here.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone seemed really friendly and down-to-earth. Also, there wasn't any pressure to attend WashU over any school.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was kind of rushed. I wish I had more time to visit the hospital and school because there is so much to see.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had believed everyone about how relaxes the interview was and didn't stress out so much.

What are your general comments?

This was my first medical school interview so I was surprised that it was very relaxed. We had a visit with the financial aid person and an overview of the medical program. They took us on an hour-long tour of the facilities (the cadaver lab, the group study areas, the hospitals). Then I had about 2 free hours while most others had interviews. We all had lunch together. After lunch, I had two one-on-one interviews. Both were very unstructured and conversational. We pretty much talked about everything that wasn't on my application. Overall, I really enjoyed it.
