+1. I think if a PD can take 30 min out of their day to talk to potential trainees speaks to how they will treat you as a resident when you ultimately match there. Lots of residents in attendance willing to share their perspectives, Ireland experience to build autonomy, plentiful academic opportunities. 18-month research requirement is stringent but if you're ranking WashU highly you probably don't care.
