💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

No real questions but, my interviewer said that I interviewed fine but my MCAT was a little low for them (I had a 30), and looking at their past statistics I didn't really follow this comment. My interviewer was very interesting and cordial and had a lot of experience in medicine but was still up to date.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewer

What impressed you negatively?

Lots of things: For one they say the metro drops you right off at the school, which it doesn't, it drops you 3-4 blocks away and you are right on a major busy road, and if you are heading straight from the airport (as I was) you have a suitcase, then it is not very conducive. Second the students at lunch sat on the admissions committee and this wasn't common knowledge. I was hugely discouraged by this. Third: the students weren't very enthusiatic, I asked a couple of students and they said the reason they went was because they got in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I'm not saying that SLU is a bad school but it just wasn't for me. This was my backup school and as soon as I got at one of my top choices I withdrew my application here. The admissions staff was very accomadating(my flight was late and they were very understanding).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
