Hey, congrats on whatever part of the application process you are on! My name is Tim, and I majored in Biology and History at Boston College. At WashU, I’ve gotten really lucky to be involved in student government, research, and the Dis-O Guide, which is what you are reading right now! I remember falling in love with WashU as an applicant through reading all the authentic pieces in the Dis-O Guide, and I hope you will too.

Hello! My name is Dylan, and I am from Iowa City, Iowa. I graduated from the University of Iowa in 2021 with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences and moved to St. Louis for medical school a few months later. In my spare time I love watching football, playing fantasy football, running, playing disc golf, and exploring St. Louis. We’re so excited to share this year’s edition of the Dis-O Guide and can’t wait to meet all of you at WashU!
