How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

School website, SDN, a magazine about the school, talked to friends about it, etc.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed very friendly and genuinely happy there. The Dean was also a really great guy.

What impressed you negatively?

THe facilities were old and not very nice. It also seems that the school is trying to disown its Jesuit heritage, which is very disappointing. St. Louis is also a pretty putrid city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The match list was much more impressive than I expected it to be.

What are your general comments?

This interview is extremely low stress. Any preparation I did was not necessary as the interview consisted of nothing but a conversation with a doctor who really did not feel the need to ask any difficult questions. Also, be prepared to sit around a lot, because there was about a 2 hour wait between my interview and the tour plus financial aide session. The most impressive thing about the school was undoubtedly the match list. It seems that students here can get residencies wherever they would like.
