No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Wash U website, re-read my AMCAS, talked to students, took the tour.

What impressed you positively?

Almost everything...the hospital is amazing, patient contact within the first month, research funding everywhere, Pass/Fail 1st year and all-elective 4th year, anatomy lab isn't in a dungeon, not a single irritating "pre-med type" student.

What impressed you negatively?

The med student dorm is a little bleak and outdated...but you don't have to live there, and housing is cheap in st. louis.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you don't grab one of those one-day parking passes, they DO ticket, and its $20.

What are your general comments?

One word sums it up: pleasent. Everyone from the students (and you get to meet 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students), to the faculty, to the addmissions office staff was friendly, inviting, and not the least bit pretentious. Don't over-prepare for the interview, its really just a nice conversation loosely focused on your AMCAS application and any other information you provided.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
