Did anyone ask about post-interview thank you note policy? Like email versus handwritten? Or none at all?
I haven't interviewed here, but my understanding is that in today's age, email is definitely acceptable (and makes for a much faster turnaround!) and it looks nice to send one, even if they don't respond to it 🙂
Would anyone who has interviewed with Dr. Willmore mind shedding some light on their experience with him? Every year there is a lot of talk about how he is irrationally picky with both II's and acceptances after interviews he conducted himself. Multiple stories of textbook perfect applicants (4.0's 35+ MCAT, best EC's possible, etc etc) being rejected are out there and I'm curious how his interviews usually go, and if there is a feeling of uneasiness during them. Thanks in advance people (or should I say, potential Billikens 😉)
EDIT: this is not meant to scare anyone who has interviewed and is waiting on an acceptance...sorry if it came off that way.

LOL, for real?
So some acceptances were given out last Thursday. Will we get some more today?! It's only been about 4 weeks since my interview, but I'm super anxious to hear something!
II!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally! completed Early September.

When I tried logging in during the weekend after receiving my username info it didn't work. I followed all the instructions for first time users but nothing worked. I tried logging in on Monday and it finally worked. Try logging in on Monday. Hopefully it will magically work for you as well.
I interviewed with Dr. Willmore as did my friend. I have a 4.0, he has a 3.9 and we both had 516+ MCAT. We were both waitlisted after what we thought were good interviews. I am okay and have moved on, but he is still holding out hope that he can turn his waitlist into an acceptance. I thought that the interview was pleasant. He dug deep into some of my research, but it is psych research so I thought it was just professional curiosity.
Ditto.
II today! Can anybody give me an idea of how long the interview day lasts?
The tour/admissions talk/lunch runs from about 10:30 to 1 pm. Otherwise it depends on when your interview is, whether it's before or after the structured portion of the day.
So it should be possible to fly out the same day?
Yeah for sure. I did on my interview day. It's easy to get back to the airport from the school as well. Just hop on the interstate.
Mind sharing your complete date and stats?
I was complete 9/18 and am OOS
MCAT 512/ GPA 3.97
Mind if I ask when you were complete?
Received an II today. OOS, Secondary app completed on Aug 22. Assuming they accept me, how long do I have to respond? And assuming I do accept, is it possible to cancel it after?
🙂First II ever!

People like you are the real MVP
Stay with a student host and they will help you use public transit and whatnot.

No it's almost exclusively indoors
How do I withdraw my interview/application from SLU? There is no option that I can see in the secondary portal.
You just email them. I replied back to the interview invite and withdrew. They need it in writing (as was told to me when I called them and asked).
Thank you !
ADCOM meets every Friday. I received my acceptance on a Friday afternoon. Best of luck! 🙂
