✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing specifically for this one. I had at this point become a veteran of the interview trail. I just reviewed my application the night before. It was difficult to find specific information on SLU. Their website was not that great.

What impressed you positively?

The tour guide took us into the hospital. Most tours don't actually go into the hospital. Since students will be spending the last two years there, it seems that most should. The fact that students are laid back, and the numerous community service options in the area. Minor note, but they served hot lunch!

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities could have been better.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There's a tunnel from the medical school to the hospital.

What are your general comments?

It was quick (like half an hour). It was obvious my interviewer was using a lot of pre-scripted questions and filling in the blank spaces on his sheet. Other than that, it was a good experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
