I did mine by phone - very chill, rather short, mostly felt like they wanted to make sure I had a pulse and was capable of forming a sentence, not much more than that...
Have some questions about the school prepared, and answers to "why law"/"why WUSTL" ("why st louis" might come up as well...), but that's pretty much it.

Nothing to stress about, it's all very relaxed.

From what I understand if they interview you they are ready to admit you. Mine was very pleasant, and I was admitted 2 days later. I wouldn't sweat it

Seriously, don't stress. My interview was less of an interview and more of a chance for them to try to recruit me. It seems like just about everyone who gets an interview is accepted within a couple of days after.

I just looked at your stats; THEY should be the nervous ones!

So how did your interview go?? I have mine early next week, and I gotta say I'm a bit nervous

Just got my interview schedule for next week Monday. I am a little nervous because it is my first of the cycle. Just wondering how much people prepared and what kind of questions you asked them

Do you mind posting or PM'ing me when you went complete vs. when you got the interview offer?

I went complete 11/16 and i got my interview offer 11/19

Admitted through email! Rather surprised, actually. Had my interview almost a month ago. Thought for sure they were going to ding me =)

Worrying about the WUSTL interview is more worthless than worrying about your outfit.

If you can answer
1) why law school (which you should know by now)
2) and why WUSTL

then there is absolutely nothing to worry about. I have not talked to one person who was asked a harder question than those.

anything short of expressing a polarizing political opinion or directly insulting admissions or the school and you will be fine

Really well!! I waaay over prepped haha. She started with the "why undergrad" question and then we just had a super natural conversation that ended up answering the why law/why WUSTL questions. She also asked me about a fairly unique experience that I wrote my PS on. She was very friendly and kind - I felt totally comfortable! Honestly I wasn't strongly considering WashU until this interview - she made it sound very attractive and it jumped way up on my list! It was about 20 minutes but flew by.

Interviewed on Wednesday and waiting to hear back. Interview was really relaxed and friendly. Just curious, about how long after the interview are most people getting decisions?

I waited ten days, but my LSAT is below median. Most people were getting them within a couple of days.

Anyone going to the December 18th Open House, and if so... business professional? Business casual? Star Wars costume? What's your plan?

Congrats and good luck!
It seems the consensus is that an interview invite is tantamount to acceptance - so enjoy it! The interview is super casual, nothing to stress out about.

Dumb question, but does anyone know what the typical award is for the scholars in law program? I couldnt find it on the website or any of the forums.
