How did you prepare for the interview?

Answered questions from SDN feedback, researched the school through the SLU website and MSAR, as well as researching a little on St. Louis and the demographic.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Because this was a regional (held in San Francisco), I was most impressed by how well the interviewer conveyed the curriculum and principles of the school, even though we weren't physically at the school's location.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

However, because the interviwer started very early to interview many students everyday over the course of one week, she *seemed* uninterested and very tired for most of our interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the Jesuit part of the school wasn't as HUGE as I thought... (or else I wouldn't have kept bringing it up)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

After arriving at the Embassy Suites at SFO (actually in Burlingame), I was set up with my interviwer in her hotel room. It was a little strange having an interview on a couch (in addition to being very sick with a cold). I had minimal contact with other interviewees, since we were scheduled at almost exact 30-minute intervals. The questions were mainly of the ''elaborate on parts of your application'' variety, including some information on my hometown, life before college, and explanation of some questionable grades and MCAT scores. Were it not for trying to get to know my interviwer before I left, I would not have thought I did too well! (Since this posting, I have been accepted to SLU.)
