What are your general comments?

The facilities are a little dated, overall the students seemed to like SLU however I didn't talk to any that chose it over another school. Students either did a program in undergrad at SLU that allowed them to get in early decision, or they applied to many schools but only got into SLU. My interviewer was reading my primary application while talking to me and her questions seemed to be geared towards figuring out if I remembered what I wrote on my app.
