I know washu is big on demonstrated interest, but I can only visit washu in november during thanksgiving break, and washu doesnt offer interviews during this time. Does doing the tour but not the interview count against you, and can the interview help chances significantly? Also, if an interview doesn’t go well, can it hurt?
The interview does help, but it won’t count against you if you don’t do it. Just make sure you go on the tour and they will take note of it. Also try and email your admissions counselor if possible.
If you’re planning on RD, you can set up an interview with someone local through the APAP program.
