Reviewed website, SDN, AMCAS, and SLU application

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The flexibility of the curriculum - electives, etc., the people (students, staff, and faculty) - everyone seemed happy to be at SLU. The tour was very good, as well.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

There wasn't much that negatively impressed me. Primarily, I felt that the cost was exorbitant, and I wasn't very impressed with financial aid office presentation. I was also unimpressed with the lack of community feeling within the medical school between classes.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How isolated the classes in the medical school seem to be from each other. M1s and 2s seem to know each other pretty well, but that cohesion seemed to be lost as 2nd years become 3rd years. For me, it seemed like opportunities for mentoring between upperclassmen and underclassmen are really lost.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

My interview was very thorough and enjoyable. It was very laid-back and conversational - no stress at all. My interviewer was really interested in my background and asked many questions pertaining to the composite profile that she was responsible for compiling for the admissions committee.
