Congrats!
Will you share your stats?
I was recently accepted as well. I have a 32 MCAT and a 4.0 BCMP GPA & a 3.9 cum.

Congrats!
Do you care to reveal your stats?
It looks like those that interviewed around mid Oct - mid Nov have been hearing back within the last few weeks.
35R. 3.99 BCMP and 3.77 cumulative. First Acceptance.
These acceptances seem to be from people with some impressive stats. Not sure how I even got an interview now!
You've got a good score and an interesting resume--and you have an acceptance already. Just be confident (and be yourself) in your interview. I was stressed before my interview but it was actually really enjoyable. It helped that my interviewer was a pleasant person to talk to, though.
Does anyone know if SLU is receptive to letters of interest/update letters pre-interview? Thanks in advance.
Yes, upload them on the secondary website.
I have seen other people post about a new/modified curriculum, but when I interviewed in September, they didn't mention anything about it. Can someone elaborate and provide details on what changes they are making? And are these changes going to be in effect for the upcoming class? Thanks!

Thanks a lot!
I've been complete since Oct. 19 and still haven't heard anything. Do you think this is a bad sign?
I've been complete since 9/20, have sent in two updates, and have received nothing but acknowledgements of my updates. And dude, after seeing the curriculum changes? Yeah, man, I want some love. They only interview into February, though; so I'd say we have a pretty slim chance at this point. 🙁
Sorry to hear that
Sorry to hear that. Looks like you have 2 acceptances, so you're still in a good place!
What was your MCAT?
Sorry to hear that.. Gives me a bit of hope though, I was complete in July too.
Let's face it MedPR, we're doomed. LoL
Yes, I am very happy with my acceptances! And it was below 30, which is why I'm not surprised at all.
When you sent the LOI, did you upload to your account or sent it to their email address?
I used the email address and received a reply in each case. But nothing regarding rejection/interview yet...
Ah ... I uploaded it, maybe that's why I haven't heard anything
Ugh. Hope is the last thing I need right now. I wish SLU would just end it already. Do it quickly SLU!
Edit: Also, congrats 🙂

Anyone know when these interviews start being for the Waitlist vs. actual class seats? Or is this a school that only interviews when there are seats available?
Im interviewing February 12 (that was the earliest available ) stats 30 Q 3.7c 3.65s
Looks like you've got a very good shot. Good luck!
Eerily similar to mine! Congrats and blow them away!!
What time do classes end during 1st and 2nd year? I'm trying to get an idea of the day to day schedule. If anyone has a link to any sort of schedule breakdown(with daily times) it would be immensely appreciated.
Curriculum is changing in the Fall, so the timing might not be the same as it is now.
Lectures are typically 9am-noon.
Interview Invite GPA 3.7, MCAT 31M, OOS, No update. Kind of a shock because i received three interview invites in a couple of weeks after 3 months of silent. Interviewing on 2/25, anyone same time? Anyway, I believe we are interviewing for the wait list based on last year's thread.
i'm interviewing here next week with Dr. Perman... if anyone has advice they're willing to share, please PM 🙂 thanks!
PM'd you.
Oooh, interesting. Good to know regardless. Thanks!

this interviewing "for the waitlist" crap is garbage. Just go, you never know what will happen, and neither do any of us. You miss every shot you don't take.
+1 I use the exact same phrase.
Don't they only interview through February? So if yours is set for the 25th (which I'm assuming is the earliest available for you) I'm guessing that if we haven't heard anything yet, we won't be getting an ii.
We need more motivational posters like Geebeejay on SDN
