It basically said we hope you use your strong education at a different school or different related field. I found the latter part rude. If I applied to your medical school, I'm pretty dead set on becoming a doctor, and not looking at other fields. I'm not even mad because I wouldn't have gone to the interview anyways had it been an II (Accepted to a better school).
Got it. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on that school! Btw did you get this notification today?

Y SLU taking long to get back post II.
I took it as wishing you luck for the future in whichever direction you take. A lot of students apply to different medical related fields (PhD, dentistry, PA, Pharmacy, etc.) I guess it doesn't really matter which way you take it because you've been accepted elsewhere so congrats on your success this cycle 🙂
Really? I have never heard of someone applying to Med school and then to PA/Pharmacy/PhD. The most similar thing I've heard of is PA's or PhD's applying to med school. And thank you! Best of luck with your cycle!
Yep! I know a few who applied MD, Dentistry and PhD in the same cycle. Also know some who applied MD and JD... although that transition is a bit weirder...
And thanks 🙂
"I'm not even mad because I wouldn't have gone to the interview anyways had it been an II (Accepted to a better school)." LOL thats what people who are mad say....salty
YES!!! Lol this person just posted about how they weren't "satisfied" with their acceptance. Whatever it doesn't matter now lol
I just cancelled two interviews after getting my acceptance. Can't waste anymore money on flights. I seriously wouldn't have gone lol Vermont is a better school than Saint Louis lmao.
And I didn't say I wasn't satisfied lol.. I said I wasn't as hype as I thought I would be after getting into med school. I said it was in my top-5 as well. Jeez these threads make me wonder how some of you got past the CARS section on the MCAT.
I interviewed at Vermont and SLU. They're fairly comparable schools. With such similar rankings, it is more about fit.
But anyway, congratulations on your acceptance. You can stop the negativity on this thread any time now. Thanks!
I'm starting to become hypertensive. jk jk
Why SLU so slow with post II decision??

Fair Enough. We can disagree about which one is better, we obviously have biases lol. Just expect people to get Butthurt if u go on a school specific forum and say that
Sorry. Was just voicing how I felt about their Rejection letter.
II just now after sending an update 2 days ago lol complete mid-Sept, dates were available until the first week of March. hopefully interviewing end of Feb doesn't hurt my chances too much
got the email a couple hours ago actually
Axed a couple of days ago, good luck to everyone else!
No, still waiting. Interviewed mid-December
they really shouldn't tell us it'll be 4-5 weeks for a decision. this is ridiculous
It's February so all acceptances are likely out by now and they are slowly working down the wait list as people decline. It's a tricky process because you can't waitlist everyone, but you also can't make the waitlist too short in the case that more people decline the acceptances than expected. If you had a good interview and get waitlisted you still have a good shot- there will be a lot of movement as people drop acceptances down to 1. Good luck to all 🙂
From what I've heard, they don't interview people for the waitlist. And considering the fact that they're still interviewing people, I think it's safe to assume they still have spots open

They do interview until March so there's no way all their II are gone
I interviewed in September and was waitlisted. As someone on the waitlist i was told that they don’t not pull from the list until May. When interviewing is over and the April 30th deadline passes for students to pick a final decision. Hope this info helps!
I've been in complete silence here since 7/10. I'm obviously assuming I'm rejected, but goodness just tell me already
+1 silence since 07/01

Exactly how I feel at ~10 schools right now lol but then I randomly got an II somewhere this week so you never know!
Has anyone that interviewed and hasn’t heard back (from late November/December) contacted the admissions office about the delayed response time? We were told it would take 4-6 weeks
Rejected. Complete 7/10. About damn time
+2 @fingerscrossed14 it's been a rough week for us 
+2 @fingerscrossed14 it's been a rough week for us
We are struggling
Perhaps they started the day with bad news and are working their way through the list so they can finish the week on a high note ^_^ IIs may be the next batch of emails to be sent out 🙂
Late November interview checking in, nothing yet. The thread from last year hinted at SLU doing a post interview Hold at a certain point. Who knows, maybe they are just trying to get through the mountains of apps that haven't been reviewed *shrugs*

Hi all, I am a first year SLU med student that is on the Orientation Committee! We will be planning the events for your welcome week and making sure you have the necessary info before moving to STL. We have just created a facebook group (just search Saint Louis University School of Medicine - Class of 2022); we ask that only accepted students request to join the group. Once you request to join, we will give you instructions on how to verify your acceptance, so please check your facebook messages (including message requests). Congrats on your acceptance to SLU, and we look forward to having the new class on campus!

I see a SLU Class of 2022 fb group now! I think its still for admin/moderators atm, but just an fyi.
Also placed on the alternate list just now, interviewed 12/4. Was told I did a good job after the interview was over... So it's confirmed that there's no movement until May?
