Is $10,000 the most SLU can offer in scholarship money?

That's correct. They said at the interview that students are considered for 5k and 10k scholarships only, the rest is loans

Anyone know when the last round of II will be sent out? I finished my secondary on 1/1 and its only been 6 weeks but I'm still super nervous...

 

[watermelon master]

Rejected pre II today was complete July

 

[whataremychancetherapper]

My interviewer actually emailed me and let me know that the director of admissions basically said that "acceptable" candidates from this point will mostly just be put on hold until seats free up at the end of April. He was like, "The meeting went well, but just know that this is how it is right now, so just sit tight/firm up your plans of where you want to go."

This feels SO nice to actually hear from the administration. Thank you!

ghosted since july... SLU just doesn't text back.

but seriously, should I assume my app is in a hold-like status? or pending rejection? (i'm great at rejection, you can tell me)

apparently SLU gets mad when you post about them not texting back... rejection email 2 minutes later and it's probably the nicest breakup text ever. stay classy SLU.

 

[Alma1989]

Rejected. LM 70.5 OOS. Complete... eh, I dunno, a long f**king time ago.

Sorry I couldn't go to the cool kids table with you, SLU.

EDITED: Checked my email. Complete 7/11. Lord almighty.

 

[HwangerBanger]

To add on to my annoying questions, do they also accept letter of intent?

Yup! You can upload them under the documents tab.

 

[CharlieBillings]

They told me 8 weeks in my January interview so i won't start freaking out until late next month lol

Looks like my wait has just barely begun.

For reference they told me 4 weeks in December and it took 12.

 

[suezq304]

Same, I think it depends on when your interviewer decides to report to the committee.

I guess not knowing when it comes just makes it more exciting?

Oh yeah you're about to have a really exciting time.

[LoveBeingHuman:)]

I bet they'll pull people off the wait list in April and especially May, when candidates turn down acceptance from them.
