💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Interviewer #1:
What haven't you done?
How is your (basic science) research relevant to medicine?
Why did you apply to WUSTL?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Partied all weekend.
What was the most difficult question?
How are you going to deal with the pt population in St Louis?
What impressed you positively?
Some of the current students. Excellent facilities for student studying. Lecture I sat in on was excellent with students being in attendance and highly attentive.
What impressed you negatively?
Some of the current students who came to the pizza party seemed a little bit stressed out and appeared to be hardcore gunners. I think the first year class is way gunner but the second years I met were very chill, talented people. While I wouldn't expect anything less considering the average stats of the students at WUSTL, they should really try to get some more socially adept students to the pizza party.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I would be accepted despite having what I perceived to be an awful second ("quality control") interview.
