What are your general comments?
I had a second closed-file interview with a subcommittee chair that lasted about 20 minutes. It was also very laidback and sweet.
The lunch was the best--they serve you at the Queeny Tower restaurant. Yes, an actual restaurant meal! I was also paired up with a non-adcom faculty for lunch, and he turned out to be the coolest, nicest person ever. That was a very sweet one hour...
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about [insert AMCAS experience].

What impressed you positively?
The facilities were AMAZING. The admissions office and financial aid office were also incredibly nice and accomodating.
What impressed you negatively?
St. Louis is a dump. But this in turn translates into a better chance of serving the underserved, which is a huge plus=)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Beware the alarm clock they give you at Olin Hall!!! Mine didn't work, my cellphone woke me up at 7:30, so I had exactly 30 minutes to wash, hop into my interview suit, groom and sprint to the admissions office.
