you might be able to get a rough idea from the percent accepted after interview, which i believe is 40% (somewhere in the middle across all schools). that's not a perfect indicator tho
Thanks! Did you just Uber back to the airport? (Assuming that's quicker than public transportation when you're pressed for time?)
I would say public transportation might actually be faster, since the nearest stop is about 100 yards from the med school building. That's what I did and it was very easy and convenient!
You can ride the red line metro from the middle of the WashU Med center directly to the airport entrance. It only takes ~20 minutes and will save you a good amount!
There were two at the start of the cycle (one short closed file, one 45-min open file). Then in the middle of the cycle they added a third interview, a new short one with a current student.
No, and no waitlists, that all doesn't come until March
Is the 4th related to some kind of additional program you marked interest in? Or do they just randomly have extra interviews for some people
It's random based on what they said during the interview.
They must be introducing some new adcom members or something!
My understanding is many people hear nothing until March, when a bunch of decisions of all types (A, WL, R) go out
It's extremely, extremely relaxed. Closed file interview was started with "tell me about yourself?" and they just asked followups about the things I mentioned. Open file interview was very casual and conversational, they just asked things like "so tell me more about [activity]?"
Mine came from an office/lab phone in the building that admissions is in (I recognize the first 3 digits). But if your person was to call from outside normal work hours it might be via their cell so who knows
Yeah, for the closed file they have never seen your application materials. For my open file the person had it open on their computer and would scroll through and ask me about something, while for other people I know their person had just read through their AMCAS beforehand but didn't have it open during the interview.
Email to admissions I think, their online portal is about as bare minimum functionality as any I've seen
I only ever got one packet of info, which had pretty much everything in it (even stuff about drug testing, summer research).
Mine was from a random St. Louis number that when I looked it up was the guy on the admissions committee that did the wrap up meeting.
Oh I personally didn't have one but they said it was a pilot program they were trying. I'm pretty sure it was another open file interview.
