SDN, my AMCAS, school website

What impressed you positively?

How relaxed the students seemed. No one seemed overly stressed out. They all talked about having fun in/out of school. There is a high percentage of the student body with families, if that is relevant for you.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

SLU doesn't offer housing to grad students, they don't have room. However, senior med students make a list of good housing options on the website.

What are your general comments?

It was really relaxed. There weren't any difficult questions. They didn't even ask why I want to be a doctor. They have your AMCAS and your supplemental app, so they know your academic background. In the interview, they are just trying to get to know you on a personal level.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
