What impressed you positively?

The relaxed, laid back demeanor of all the students. Did not seem stressed out at all. Most of them mentioned the fact that you could ''have a life'' while studying medicine at Saint Louis University.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities were mediocre, at best.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how casual and laid back everyone was going to be... it kind of took me by surprise.

What are your general comments?

The interview was short, sweet, and to the point. This is what all med school interviews should be like. At this point in the process the med schools know almost everything about us, grades, MCAT, extracurriculars, experiences, etc. The only thing they don't know is our personalities, which can be discovered with a simple conversation. Grilling students with tough questions is pointless. Way to go Saint Louis on doing it right!
