What are your general comments?
I had one subcomittee interview which was closed-file and only ~20 minutes. It wasn't enough time to really express anything convincingly; she just asked what activities I did, etc. My hour-long interview with a faculty member consisted of him talking and me listening. I didn't really say much, so it's hard to tell if I did well or not.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
The very first question I was asked was, ''What brings you to WashU?''
How did you prepare for the interview?
This site, read my essays and AMCAS, talked to students.
What impressed you positively?
The students! They all seemed happy and glad they chose WashU. Also WashU has a traditional lecture-based system, which I like.
What impressed you negatively?
St. Louis, but I'm from California, and spoiled. Also, my interviewer did most of the talking, so it was hard to tell how well I did.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Don't stress over this interview. It's really relaxed and casual. Also, I didn't know that 1/3 of the patient population was over 300 pounds.
