✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Almost nothing...I barely read upon the faculty research. sorta collected my thoughts. I already know my research very well didn't need to prepare for that.

What impressed you positively?

The tour was fabulous (it's very non-traditional, with a pathology faculty giving a mini-lecture). The hospital was gigantic. The depth and bredth of research is excellent. Stduents seem (on the most part) very happy. The school has money flowing out its ears. MD/PhD is ~1/4 of the medical school class, hence has a big leverage.

What impressed you negatively?

WashU attracts a particular kind of students, very typical midwestern working class (think constant football talk), many from rural communities. St Louis sucks as a city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They give out decision in a week.

What are your general comments?

~six faculty semi-formal interviews one group (~15 faculty) conference style interview (MSTP) one one-on-one interview (MD) It was not stressful. Students are very very nice. Research is high calibre. MST program very well run. Andrew and Brian excellent. But I didn't like the city that much and was fairly unimpressed by the students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
