What impressed you positively?

Proximity of campus to local hospitals (University hospital and Children's hospital) as well as their affiliation with multiple hospitals, a huge amount of student-run community involvement la clinica and homeless clinics). The cooperative, fairly non-competetive environment between students. The fact that the jesuit portion of the education is not a heavy influence (although abortion is not taught)

What impressed you negatively?

The neighborhood around the school was a little rough, however there are plenty of nice places to live within 10 minutes of campus (Forest Park near Wash U).

No responses

What are your general comments?

Dr. Willmore was extremely nice and put me at ease-- did not ask obvious questions like why do you want to be a doctor, why SLU, why did you take the MCAT twice or even why I got a C in physics. I was surprised that I didn't get asked those sorts of obivious questions (but not disappointed!) Our talk was very conversational, he seemed interested in all of my clincal experiences and asked me many questions about my thoughts and feelings during those experience. He asked about my family and what I like to do in my spare time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
