How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews, previous interview, looked over research. Chilled out.

What impressed you positively?

Everything--sim lab, all the study space on campus, the students were down to earth, P/F, podcasting after 1st semester, block scheduling, enthusiastic tour guide, Children's hospital, Virology/vaccine development research, St. Louis, other interviewees

What impressed you negatively?

Cost of attendance, area of SLU

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my sandwich had onions on it; to bring flats for the tour and something to do during a lot of downtime; I'd have 2 interviewers (both so nice); not to be stressed; that I would like the school so much!

What are your general comments?

I was pleasantly surprised by SLU. I kind of added it as an afterthought but I would absolutely love to go there. 2 interviewers is not standard, they were breaking in a new interviewer on me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

More signs to the admissions office--it was hard to find, but apparently moving sometime soon.
