I sent an update through the portal last year and received an II a few weeks later. The content of my update also came up in my interview so I know they read it. I'd say 1 substantial update pre-II is appropriate and can only help.

I dreamed that I received an II last night. Maybe it will come in a couple of days 🙂
apply if your stats are good
I am flying into stl tonight for my interview on Tuesday (10/18), I am planning to spend the day tomorrow (10/17) exploring the city! I have a rental car, PM if you would be interested in exploring a bit and/or grabbing dinner and bouncing some interview conversation ideas back and forth.
Congrats on all the interviews everyone! I have an interview coming up that's at 1PM. What time do you think I would be finished with everything? Just trying to see if I would be safe for a 4:50 flight or if that would be cutting it a little close. Thank you for your help!
If you're interview is at 1PM, it should be after the tour and informational presentations. Thus, it'll probably be the last thing you do, and you'll probably be out of there by 2pm at the latest. In my experience, the St. Louis airport was not crowded at all, and getting through security took like 5 minutes. So you should probably be fine if your flight leaves at 4:50pm. Just my two cents! Good luck!

I concur with the person above me, that you probably have time. although it is like a 30ish minute drive to the airport from the med school building, traffic depending. But the airport was one of the fastest I have been to!

I interviewed on the same day and have heard nothing!!
Haha that's funny. That means we probably met IRL. My other friend who interviewed on 9/13 with us was accepted today. I guess there's nothing to do but wait and hope for the best!

what does IRL mean? ha I'm new to all of this!
I'm a 9/13 interviewer also! So strange knowing that I would probably recognize you if we were face-to-face haha
The interview was very relaxed! One-on-one, open file, approximately 45-60 minutes long, I think mine was around 45 minutes.
First, know what's on your application. A good portion of the questions include going through the activities you list on your AMCAS application. After that, it's just a few very standard interview questions (strengths, weakness, why SLU, etc.). The whole thing is very conversational, and my interviewer was super friendly!
Best of luck!
It was really laid back and lasted an hour for me. It was very conversational, she asked me about activities I had listed on AMCAS, what I do in my free time, about my hometown and then why I chose SLU. The only thing you can really do to prepare is to study your application and relax, it went by way faster than expected!
