How hard are they. Just standard "why medicine" **** or they asking some complex ethical dilemmas.

No complex ethical questions for me. Mine were literally textbook Casper questions with some references to WashU thrown in there. Super straightforward imo.

The website says acceptances only start coming out starting 11/12...

yea, I'm also confused why only one guy (MD) posted about getting an A. Maybe they released a very small batch 1 week early?
 
have any of you received the actual acceptance letter yet or just the call
 
Can someone link the washU page saying decisions are on November 12th? I haven't seen a page like that.
 
Hi, for the live campus tour, do we need to have our camera on or interact with the presenters in any way? (except questions at the end, I assume).

Your camera is on, though I guess you can switch it off if you would like.. it is a different interface than a normal zoom, so I wasn't even sure how to change my video settings haha.

The tour is very informal, so asking questions totally depends on you. You can ask questions at any time, or alternatively stay quiet until the end.. some of this also depends on the size of the tour. I actually attended more than one tour - the first one was packed with ten people, so we were all mostly quiet until the end when we all had multiple qs. The second time it was just three of us total, so we were even more informal and asking qs throughout.. Hope this helps 🙂

thanks so much!
Also, has anyone received a decision other than an acceptance so far? Deferrals or Rejections (or waitlists)?

I interviewed mid October and have not received anything so far 🙂

Not really expecting anything until early Spring to be honest.. I think WashU will release a few As by the end of the year, but the majority of the decisions will only come after Jan

I just got a call. I was told the email would come later.

I think the reason there is some variability is because the person who represented you to the committee is the one who calls you up. I'm sure they have different schedules and are finding the time to inform everyone.
 
For anyone who received an II yesterday, what was the first available date? I just found yesterday's II email in my spam a few minutes ago, and the first opening is 12/7. Hoping I didn't miss out on way earlier dates.

That was the earliest yesterday! They had from the 7th-13th I believe

Earliest for me was Nov 22nd. I checked right after my II was sent

Can anyone speak on their interview experience?
Click to expand...
My interviews were great! The closed one was about 30 minutes and the open one was close to 50.. I had a great conversation with both the interviewers and they really seemed to want to get to know me and were very welcoming even though I was just interviewing. Overall, maybe my best interview experience!
 
How difficult was the standardized video interview? I feel like I did horribly on Snapshot for Casper so I'm really nervous....
 
Did anyone get interviewed by Dr. Ratts? A lot of the current med students said they were interviewed by her.

When did you guys interview?
 
does anyone who already interviewed know the approximate timeframe (like 8AM-10AM or something) that our interviews are scheduled in? I'm in a different time zone from the school so I'm just wondering what the time difference would be like, thanks!

As far as I know, no time frame. One of my interviews was in the morning and the other one was in the afternoon on the same day.. It just comes down to scheduling, and when the adcom members are available.

My first interview was at 10 am and the other at 3 pm.
 
Probably a silly question, but does anyone know if there any sort of dress code for the Why WashU/meet the students/other info sessions outside of interview day or the recorded video interview?
