What impressed you positively?

The neighborhood was not as sketchy as the impression I had, fellow interviewee's were amazing and friendly. Most fun I have had at an interview yet. Attended a seminar by a plastic surgeon - very neat. Curriculum.

What impressed you negatively?

COST and lack of financial support other than loans. Necessary to drive to school. Definitely the "other" medical school of St. Louis.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The neighborhood is not nice, but its not too bad, the campus is pretty and "green". The Dean made a comment regarding websites such as these :)

What are your general comments?

Everyone's interview was "laid back", was not laid back or easy, more of a lecture/learning experience. Unique. My interviewer was friendly, but was teaching more than conversing. Not necessarily a bad thing, I feel more prepared for future interviews now. I felt like I accomplished something after the interview having made it through a difficult interview. Also, was late in the day and ran long, so I left town during rush hour :( SLU is a solid med school, but I would be uncomfortable racking up this sort of debt unless it was a name school.
