Yeah... I've been sitting here refreshing my email every few min 🙁
Maybe they are too busy today...
 
I just called the Admissions Office and got a recorded message that said that in order to obtain information regarding my application status, go to the Admissions website and use the "Request Information" tool. So I just did... Has anyone else gotten a reply to one of these messages? How long did it take?
 
Just made the alternate list. Not surprised, I completely blew the interview here. Anyone know how many are put on the list?

Many - the alternate list does move quite a bit after the acceptance deadline passes.

Got the alternate/waitlist email this morning too. Honestly, I was expecting this because the interview did not go well. At least at my two interviews since then, I've been able to prove I can interview well and hoping maybe SLU will give me the benefit of "first interview anxiety."

Ok so my friend called admission b/c she was tired of me getting so neurotic about this. she said that a yes/no/maybe email should be sent out, and that if you haven't heard anything yet, it's most likely because your interviewer is slower to turn his/her stuff in. so I guess the better question for those who've already received their decision is not when did you interview, but who interviewed you.

Also accepted yesterday, got the email around 7:30am (9:30 St Louis time). Interviewed 9/11 with Dr. Everard. So stoked!!
 
does anyone know how often the committee meets? like how far apart are the flood of acceptance notices usually?

Does st Louis send a complete email? I sent in my secondary at the end of August and haven't heard back yet.

No...the only thing I received after submitting was a "payment received" email. You can check the website under the "Status" section and make sure all the components are there, though.
 
for those with acceptances, does anyone know if the form attached to the acceptance email is a binding agreement? if for some reason i decide to withdraw at a later date can i still do so, even if I send in that signed form along with my deposit?

Yeah it doesn't say anywhere that you are going to attend Saint Louis University. This is just so you can hold on to an acceptance.

Edit: Actually this line is kind of making me overthink it now. "indicating my intention to register as a first-year student in the Saint Louis University School of Medicine in 2013."

Edit 2: Called admissions. We're fine, it's all refundable until May 15.

Anyone know anything about interviewing w/ Dr. Craig Lawson? Thanks in advance!

He teaches anatomy. Great with students and a friendly guy overall.


For everyone else: congratulations on your acceptances! To those on the waitlist, keep your chin up, keep the admissions committee informed of any progress you make and stay positive, our waitlist does move.

If any of you have specific questions about what its like to be at SLU or any questions about the area please PM me or, if possible, post in this thread so I can answer for everyone to see. My qualifications: I'm a life-long saint-louiser (more or less), went to college and grad school here and am a 4th year student at SLUSOM at the moment. Please ask anything you'd like to know.

I interviewed mid-September and haven't heard anything yet.

Anyone interview with Dr. Perman and hear anything?
