How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website and viewbook, read this website, read over my application/secondary, read over my research lab notebook, thought of answers to questions that would probably be asked, and talked to current/past students.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities--everything, especially the hospital, seemed bright, shiny, and new. The students seem to really love the school, and they give you plenty of opportunities to talk to students. First years have a pizza party with you the night before, second years have breakfast with you the morning of the interview, third years have lunch with you, and fourth years lead the tours. Saint Louis seems like a nice city, but I'm not sure how I feel about the mid-west in general.

What impressed you negatively?

I was very impressed that they offer you a free one-night stay in their dorms (you get a room all to yourself!). But, the dorm is not impressive. There is a hallway bathroom, the rooms are relatively small, and the temperature is hard to control. Not great living for a year, but when you interview, they provide towels and linens, and there's a sink in the room--so I can't complain too much!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school is relatively easy to navigate, especially because they give you a map and explain how to get to all your interviews, so don't worry about that. The tour is pretty long because the campus is HUGE, so make sure you have comfortable shoes.

What are your general comments?

Overall a very relaxed day. My interview lasted 80 minutes, and my interviewer was very nice. However, I'm not sure she could hear a single thing I was saying, because she would answer my questions with responses that totally did not match the question I had asked! After a while I just gave up asking questions, but, she was really nice, so hopefully that won't matter. The day started at 8am with a group talk with the dean. Then everyone splits up for their interviews/tours. Lunch at noon was very nice. Lunch is at the same time for everyone interviewing that day, but your interview and tour can be at any time. They split up interviewees into groups, so the tour is with 4 interviewees and one fourth year student.
