Thank you

Has anyone received any financial aid/scholarship packages yet?

 

[deleted698458]

Interviewed 1/16. WL email last week.

 

[deleted698458]

Is the waitlist same as the alternate list?

Yes. It said Alternate list in the email.

 

[deleted698458]

Anyone know how many people are accepted off the alternate/wait list? Are letters of intent important for this school?

 

[Kingsmen2018]

Anyone know when accepted students will receive fin aid?

 

[hemedream]

Procrastinated on FAFSA. When is the deadline for SLU, if there is one?

 

[Kingsmen2018]

Just called Financial Aid office. They said 2-3 more weeks to find out about our fin aid and scholarship stuff. Basing off med school deadlines, we may not know for a very long time.

Current student here. If anyone has questions about SLU feel free to message me! Sorry to say I am not part of admissions so I don't have any insider information lol

 

[AddisonMontgomery]

Despite people not believing my post, I'll repeat it here. There will be good movement and it will happen before May. Keep your heads up

So they only tell us May to cover their ....? Cause earlier sounds better to me

May is right after the multiple acceptance deadline so that's when a lot of movement will happen. But hang in there- slower movement happens before then too.

At this point people are still hoarding acceptances all over.

Interviewed 1/30 or so, got alternate list email today. Not super surprising, given how late it is in the cycle.

 

[Fortheloveof]

Interviewed 01/23, placed on the alternate list today!

 

[Fortheloveof]

Anyone know how many alternate list spots they have? And the chances of getting in?

Are they not giving out acceptances anymore? They interview into March...

They still give out acceptances. they keep spots open throughout the entire period, and if you look through last years thread, some people who interviewed in February got accepted directly

So they start adding to the waitlist before finalizing the class?

 

[amedschoolclassof2022]

Accepted earlier this morning. Interviewed 1/23

yeah i believe so

 

[DrKhalessi]

Should waitlist-ers send a letter of intent?

 

[happytofubear]

Has anyone not heard back? I interviewed January 23rd and nothing at all

[You're My Boy Blue]

Does SLU have a second look?

For some reason no. But you can contact the school if you wanna take another tour of the campus

Does anyone know how long the post-committee deliberation takes? Called and said I was presented on Wednesday.

 

[DamSun]

Last week of Jan

If they presented you last week you'll probably hear back this Friday. That was my experience anyway. Goodluck!

They usually hand out decisions on fridays based on this forums

 

[DamSun]

Just got put on the alternate list. Any info? Like is it ranked or rate of acceptance from the list?

 

[Hobbsyy]

Just got put on the alternate list. Any info? Like is it ranked or rate of acceptance from the list?

From MSAR: "The alternate list is a ranked list. The ranking of this list is kept confidential by the Committee on Admissions."

Also just got put on the alternate list.

When did you interview?

 

[DamSun]

When did you interview?

Last week of january

 

[kopftonmd]

+1 to the alternate list. Interviewed beginning of February.

 

[didley]

+1 to the alternate list. Interviewed beginning of February.

With 516 MCAT you have zero Acceptances in MD just mind boggling, you should have at least 2 Acceptances with those Stats.
Hope you get off those Alternate lists

On 3 waitlists currently, still need to hear back from 3 schools... sigh.

 

[mr. cereal]

Accepted yesterday, interviewed in February

+2

 

[You're My Boy Blue]

When do alternate list ppl usually start getting pulled off?

From now until July. But the biggest jump is the deadline for multiple acceptances

 

[theelectricfish]

Has anyone been awarded financial aid yet?

 

[Medstudent 32]

Has anyone been awarded financial aid yet?

Nope, haven’t heard back on anything yet.

 

[Kingsmen2018]

Has anyone been awarded financial aid yet?

They told me “1 more week” on March 3rd. I called back like March 11th and they said “2-3 more weeks” safe to say we won’t find out for a very long time.

 

[Averagemanboy]

Should waitlist-ers send a letter of intent?

anybody know if they accept these or if they are worthwhile?

 

[theelectricfish]

anybody know if they accept these or if they are worthwhile?

They do accept letters uploaded to the secondary website's Document Upload section. I was accepted two weeks after uploading my letter, but I'm unsure how much of an effect it had on the acceptance.

 

[theelectricfish]

If I may ask, how long and detailed was your letter?

It was about 1 and 1/3 pages long. I’d say it was pretty detailed, in terms of why I want to attend SLU.
