What are your general comments?

"Wash U has the most incredible administrative staff! Your visit will run very smoothly (and it's completely paid for!) The committee meeting is a little intimidating when you first walk in (12 faculty sitting around a board room table with you at the head), but the committee isn't out to trick you and asked by far the most interesting questions about my research that I've gotten so far. I actually got some great ideas for control experiments. The committee interview is pretty short (20 minutes) too, so it's over before you know it. The one on one interviews are more for your benefit and not stressful at all, so don't worry:)" Report Response
