What impressed you positively?
Nearly everything. WashU lets you stay in their dorm for free, gives you a pizza party the night before to meet applicants and med students, free breakfast of your choice, as well as a nice lunch at the tower top restaurant. This lunch is typically with a med student, but I ate with one of the assistant deans! This experience alone would be exceptional for a school, but throughout WashU makes the best effort of any school ive seen to impress and wow the applicants.
What impressed you negatively?
Well interviewers dont come to you, and mine was reaaaaly far away. But this wasnt really a negative, as it let me see the place better.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
n/a
What are your general comments?
The interview itself was the most laid back ive been at. We talked about my school, its environment, how that related to me. We talked about WashU and its environment as well. The only even remotely probing or difficult question was as follows:
'do you have a general idea of healthcare and its problems/how to fix them?' - if you cant field some answer to that, you shouldnt be interviewing lol.
