When does their interview season end?
I haven't!
Accepted by email just now. Interviewed 11/21, most likely going to withdraw.

Does slu accept updates and letter of intents?
Accepted this afternoon! Interviewed 11/21 as well!
Yes. I would send pre/post II but they have more weight post-II.
Anecdotal, but I have a friend who submitted a LOI last cycle on Friday and was accepted on the following Monday.
Through the portal or email it to the general admissions email?
Has anyone who interviewed 11/27 heard back?

Accepted today via e-mail. Interviewed 11/28. Still concerned about the probation situation. The fact that no one mentioned it on interview day made me a little uneasy. Can anyone set my mind at ease?
If there is an option through the portal I would use that.
Probably no one mentioned it because we, as students, are really not worried about it. The only MD school to lose accreditation in recent history was a Caribbean school that literally couldn't afford keep the lights on in their hospital. Baylor, GW, and CMS have all been on probation recently and have gotten off.
There is a SLU website with updates on the process. Here is the link to the most recent one Progress Shared on LCME Remediation : SLU
Ultimately you have to make the decision though if you're lucky enough to have multiple options
Thanks, that's really helpful to know. It's hard to understand what this means if you're on the outside in this sort of situation. I didn't mean any offense in my original post but as I have multiple acceptances at this point it is something that I'm considering as I weigh the options and just wanted the inside scoop on the situation. Thanks again!
I'm sorry to hear that. Do you mind me asking if it was pre or post II?
rejected yesterday, pre-II. I requested they withdraw my application weeks ago. 🤣
How long should I wait after my interview to send in an update and intent letter taking into consideration they are discussing my file in 3 weeks?
If they say interview is at 9am that means just showing up at admissions office right? They will direct you to interview location?
Your interview starts at that time, you should absolutely arrive earlier. You may have to walk to your interview from the office

Not stressful at all. Very conversational and don’t be nervous. You will do amazing!
Withdrawing from II today. Hope one of you deserving folks gets my spot!

I updated my grades to SLU and they accepted it. just go to the secondary website and use their "document upload" option
I know they accept them but do they actually look at them lol
Lol after I updated my grades, I got an interview invite about a week later, so I think they do
That was my experience, too.

Axed Pre II, complete early July.
Rejected pre II. Complete early July. LM 67-69
REJected as well. Complete in July
Does this mean I made it past a round of rejections??? Lol
I was complete late July and still haven't heard anything haha
I was complete late July and still haven't heard anything haha
Yes it would seem that way!! complete 07/05 myself
Out of curiosity, how much does the probation affect the school and its students?
If my interview is in the afternoon, do I just show up at 10:40? The email says “in addition to the interview, there is a tour of the Medical Center and a luncheon that will provide you with an opportunity to meet with medical students and with the Dean of Admissions. The tour will take off from the Admissions Office. These activities will occur between 10:40 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.”

How are the interviews, are they closed file? Thanks!
They're open file, super conversational and relaxed, and for some it's 15 minutes for others it's an hour.
Based on last years thread no there are still IIs to be had.
It looked like this week was a decent week for IIs and then they continued to send out interviews periodically into early February. 2016-2017 Saint Louis University Application Thread
page 12 seemed to have a few. I didn't look past this.
