5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my application, read interview feedback on SDN, mock interview with an advisor.

They have scholarships available

What impressed you negatively?

Hospital is under construction, every student I talked to went there because they didn't get in anywhere else.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Coffee would not be served with lunch.

What are your general comments?

The facilities are a little dated, overall the students seemed to like SLU however I didn't talk to any that chose it over another school. Students either did a program in undergrad at SLU that allowed them to get in early decision, or they applied to many schools but only got into SLU. My interviewer was reading my primary application while talking to me and her questions seemed to be geared towards figuring out if I remembered what I wrote on my app.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Serve coffee with lunch.
