Since interview season is wrapping up, I thought I'd make sure no one has any questions about Wash U. Either post or pm me if there's anything I can answer.

I'll be interviewing there soon, and I heard great things about the program. How do you like St. Louis? I've never been there. Good music scene, restaurants, etc.? Thanks!

St. Louis is an interesting city. Its kind of like a big, small city. The metro area has about 2.8 million people, but its really a city of smaller neighborhoods.

Very active music scene -- and not just Nelly. Chuck Berry still plays at a local restaurant once a month. Restaurants are great -- the Hill (mom and pop Italian), Soulard, Downtown, etc.

Lots to do otherwise. Forest Park -- right next to the hospital -- is the second largest park in the US with a free zoo, history museum, science center, etc. And there's a really active outdoor community.

The thing I like best, though, is that I feel like I get a "small town" feel with all of the big city amenities -- Cardinals, Rams, Fox Theatre (Broadway Productions).

If I can help anymore, just let me know.

I saw in the Freida information about their IM program that the number of spots decline every year. Do you know if this program is "cutting" people out of the Internal Medicine program every year?

 

[CS_22]

Not that I know of, but I'm not in Internal Medicine.

Sorry I can't help.
