On the fence about applying here because of this. Also the dean's response wasn't the most confident or comforting. Anyone have any input on how this affects students?

Doesn't affect students at all. No US MD school has lost accreditation. They are being very transparent about the process
You can read about the steps they are taking here LCME Accreditation : SLU
I appreciate the input! I went ahead and added this school.
Edit: Well that was quick. Literally added this school late last night, got the secondary early this morning, and submitted just now. Why can't all secondaries be this straight forward?

M1 here, but I have talked to multiple MD faculty here about this and all say it was a documentation issue. No affect at all as mentioned above.
Got a brochure in the mail from SLU today. Got excited cause I thought they were sending me a letter inviting me to come interview, but no
II this morning as well! IS, LM 72, complete mid July and wrote a short why SLU essay for the optional prompt
II this morning. OOS with stats in signature. Complete 7/10.
Can anyone give input as to why SDN has Saint Louis ranked as a 1 out of 5?
For the optional section, is it required to write an essay or would simple bullet point updates of additional poster presentations and abstracts be ok?
I ask because the section says in addition to the personal statement and also encourages to add poster-like updates as PDFs in the documents tab.

This post was a while ago but I wanted to update in case anyone else is wondering. I emailed and asked if my AP bio credit was okay having taken other bio courses in undergrad and they said this would be fine. 🙂

Probably the accredition issues. I read somewhere that SLU is on probation.

Can someone PM me the url for the secondary app portal, please. I seemed to have lost the email after I had completed it. Thanks.

I have a interview here in september 🙂The day before I have a lab that I don't know that I will be able to miss or reschedule. If I can't work something out, I won't arrive until 11pm. I was interested in the student host problem here, but I'm not sure if arriving so late would be an inconvenience to my host. I know they probably have early mornings. However, it is run through the school I have the option to disclose my expected arrival in the sign-up form. Should I just get a hotel or try for the student host program?
Wow, so according to US news 100% of the people who interview here are accepted. So that can mean two things. 1. US News messed up 2. CONGRATS to everyone who got an II, you are accepted into a US MD 🙂
Unfortunately, MSAR says so otherwise
Yes, I can take care of that. Thank you for the advice!
II today by email, complete 07/12 OOS.
This happened to me too. Don't worry, I'm guessing they will just add more dates on a first come first serve basis. I ended up checking back a couple days later and 5 new dates had opened up!
Awesome, thanks!
Any one else interviewing on September 12?
ALSO
For current medical students on the thread, is an earlier interview date a greater likelihood for an acceptance at SLU?

Like most medical schools SLU accepts on a rolling basis. The earlier you interview the better your chances
I am 🙂 Who is your interviewer?

Anyone else interviewing/has interviewed with James Shoemaker MD PhD? I'd like to get some insight into how he is if possible.

This school emailed me asking to apply weird :/
Interview invite this PM! Re-applicant OOS non-URM LM 67-69 complete 7/2. Interviewed February last cycle so this was a very welcome surprise (guessing they remember my LOI 😛). Latest interview slot I see is mid october with the earliest being mid september.

I just canceled my interview and withdrew my application. It was really difficult to turn down an interview invite, but I really can't see myself living in Saint Louis for four years. I decided to give up my interview and let it go to someone who may really want to go to here and can now interview in my place. I hope one of you guys gets the II!
If I get one I'll give you credit haha 🙂 best of luck in your cycle.
Thank you and you as well! It all came down to me not wanting to be greedy and let it go to someone who truly deserves it. I decided that I would rather go to an osteopathic school in my area than attend SLU. SLU seems like a great program but location became a deal breaker for me
Yeah, you have to go where you will be the happiest! SLU's strong affiliation with Barnes-Jewish and the plethora of neuroscientists are what makes me so badly want an interview.
I really hope to get an II here, my grandfather graduated from SLU in 1950 and worked as a surgeon at SLU his entire career. Would be cool to attend from a family history standpoint.
II! Submitted 7/28, OOS, LM 71
Congrats!! i have a similar LM score and OOS but i was complete in late august 🙁 what dates are available for u?

Someone posted this on Reddit 🙂 believe 100% per the chart that may or may not work if I copy and paste:

I actually think it's 100% haha
Their post-interview acceptance rate is not 100% lol (although it may be close). I have a friend who interviewed last cycle and was wait-listed. He ended up not getting off the wait list.
