I think they interview everyone now. Except maybe if the person has already met an admissions officer somewhere or something like that.texasreznikoff wrote:got an interview offer! excited but also vaguely stressed about the fact that they didn't just admit me from the jump...

99% sure WUSTL's whole enrollment strategy is to never ever yield protect.Platopus wrote:Me too, especially when I applied the same day as OakBrook perhaps its just yield protect and/or a way to gauge interesttexasreznikoff wrote:got an interview offer! excited but also vaguely stressed that they didn't just admit me from the jump...

Re: WUSTL c/o 2021 Applicants ('17-'18 Cycle)
Were all admitted folks' first deposit and second deposit boxes checked after receiving the admission email? I was in via email only last Friday and of course haven't paid anything, but they're both checked. Secretly hoping it's a sign of receiving scholarship...

During my interview I thanked her for interviewing me and she said “of course! We interview everyone” so yes, I believe soPlatopus wrote:
Yeah, that makes sense. Do they just interview everyone then?

Since I'm totally naive, what do they ask and how much does the interview last?

It was really casual. Just things you'd expect, why law school, what you know about WUSTL, areas of interest. They expect you to have questions too.InterLaw wrote:Since I'm totally naive, what do they ask and how much does the interview last?

Re: WUSTL c/o 2021 Applicants ('17-'18 Cycle)
read the OP. I have some of their interview questions highlighted there. Just know your resume well and don't be awkward. This means pausing while you think and not just stammering. Also, come prepared with intelligent questions to ask them to show you care about their school and that you've researched it.InterLaw wrote:Since I'm totally naive, what do they ask and how much does the interview last?

Interviewing soon and grateful for these tips!
Those of you who interviewed after applying, did they ask about your PS or app components?

They didn't ask me about my ps but I did get a question that I could tell was based on a C&F issue with my app.heyduchess wrote:Interviewing soon and grateful for these tips!

Short answer for me is no.heyduchess wrote:Interviewing soon and grateful for these tips!

I interviewed before and after applying, both times with Asst. Dean Mary Ann Clifford. The first time (on-campus) it was more in depth about my background, interest in law, career goals, and why I applied to WashU. It also included a healthy dose of her discussing the school's offerings and how they aligned with the interests and goals I have. The second interview was more of a check-in to see if my situation had changed and to refresh her on my reasons for law school/WashU.
The second interview she also emphasized WashU and the opportunity to pursue federal clerkships even though I had not mentioned them as part of my goals in any of my application materials. This may be a bold statement, but I interpreted this as a sign that WashU wants to increase their Fed. Clerkship placement and is specifically pitching that as an option early on in the process like Duke did when Dean Levi took the reigns. That may not be the case, but it seemed like a very specific endeavor to emphasize if not.

Yeah I interviewed back in July when they mass mailed the June takers. It takes like 20 minutes and it was more of a conversationPlatopus wrote:Did you interview or previously meet with admissions staff?

Re: WUSTL c/o 2021 Applicants ('17-'18 Cycle)
I got the same feel re: gunning for clerkships. I mentioned that is my primary goal and my interviewer jumped all over it, and talked about how that is an area they want to improve over the next few years.TheDuke0fEarl wrote:Short answer for me is no.heyduchess wrote:Interviewing soon and grateful for these tips!

They waived my app fee three times (hidden + automatic e-mail + personal e-mail with ass. dean after an inquiry)... How could I say no?

I doubt (and hope) this has too big an effect on our cycle, but it for sure will in the next few years.
Proud to be in the last generation of worthless apathetic people who are good test-takers to have a chance to get into a top law school.
