✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Prepared around 3 questions that I could ask the interviewer. Read about the health care reform. Read about the school. Practiced talking to friends/family. The interview here was pretty chill, so don't worry. Everyone's friendly and they just want to get to know your personality, because that's something they can't read from your file.

What impressed you positively?

The people. Everyone was really nice.

What impressed you negatively?

People usually put the residence hall here,as something about that was negative, but I can't comment on that since I didn't stay there or get to see the facilities.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That carrying a purse around is ok for girls. ( Seems silly I know) I kept running to the locker room every time I needed to get something from my bag.

What are your general comments?

The interview at Washington University was really relaxed. It's in your best interest if you're relaxed as well, and that you enjoy your time there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
