July 27, I got this from SLU and I never applied:
Dear Prospective Applicant,
Saint Louis University School of Medicine encourages applications from students who have achieved a high level of academic performance and who manifest in their personal lives those human qualities compatible with a career of service to society. The University's mission statement affirms the value of a diverse educational environment to prepare students for life and work in a global society. Beyond the important objective of training competent physicians who are scholars of human biology, the School strives to graduate physicians who manifest in their personal and professional attitudes that reflect the Jesuit spirit and values, and affect the physician's interactions with patients and colleagues, and with society.
For more information about the school, please visit our web site:

I assume:
1) They are interested in me applying.
And/or
2) They are interested in my money.
I went ahead and applied. They immediately sent back a secondary which I completed. I am a nontraditional student with a Ph.D. and MS degrees in the Biological sciences, but very low MCAT score (That exam is complete crap), who is a Professor for several community colleges. So I figured, "Why not just apply?". I was shocked I got anything from them. Has anyone else received this email? Are they just trying to make money during these hard economic times? I wonder if they screen applicants directly off of AMCAS and target them to get them to apply. I heard about that in the past, a long time ago...like they know where you are applying..and thus want you also to apply to them (By them I mean the medical school).
