SDN interview feedback, school website, reviewed application.

What impressed you positively?

The emphasis on student wellness. SLU students seem very stress-free.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour wasn't very structured and my tour guides didn't really have much of a plan other than walk around and point out things on campus. The lunch with M2s was shortened, because our tour guides got us there late. I also wish there was more than one interviewer to have more opportunities to show who you are.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that some interviews take place after the tour and lunch. I was fortunate to have my interview before, but there were people who showed up around 10:30 for the tour and lunch then interviewed later in the afternoon around 2-3.

What are your general comments?

I think the interview doesn't allow students to really express who they are. Thirty minutes isn't much. The tour wasn't very impressive either. While I understand they want to maximize our time with students to hear their perspectives, it would've been nice to hear from more faculty as well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
