Accepted today! Interviewed 9/18
What is SLU looking for? I'm IS, 3.88 sGPA, 3.84 nsGPA and MCAT 517 complete 7/29. I have no idea why I haven't received an interview. (I am a re-re-applicant with the same stats and never received an interview).

It is still early in the cycle - there are many more II's that will be coming. That said, remember that SLU is a Jesuit university and therefore places a heavy emphasis on service and volunteer activities - in addition to grades and MCAT scores.
For those of you worried about probation the LCME accepted SLU's plan for remediation. This is good news! Essentially if SLU follows the plan they should be off probation when the LCME visits to re-asses the criteria.
Great! I have not been worried, but it is something I haven’t been able to completely ignore. Do you have a link so we can read about it ourselves?
edit- mixed up my forums, my bad
I received a very generic recruitment email from St. Louis University encouraging me to apply, saying they are looking for applicants with a high level of scholastic success, and also Jesuit values- does anyone know what the system is for sending out these emails, and if it's worth it to apply at this point? Thanks!

I got these emails before AND after I had applied. They are just automatic from a list of everyone that took the MCAT
perfect, thank you for the help. Good luck on apps!
II today, for those worrying about not getting an II, cycles are really unpredictable so keep your head up! i know its hard but its still pretty early!
Congrats! When were you complete?

Second week of September! Thanks!
The day starts at 10:40 AM.
The group day starts at 10:40. Some people interview at 10:00 so I was there at 9:45.
Edit: And I ended up being one of those people.
Thanks! 🙂 When is everyone completely done? Hoping to take a flight back the same day if possible 🙂
This also varies on your interview. Basically the group stuff (tour, lunch, financial aid) is from 10:40 to like 1:30. Since my interview was at 10, I was finished at 1:30 and left. But there were other applicants whose interview didn’t even start till 3 or 3:30. It just depends what time your interviewer has free that day I guess.
My interview day started at 9am, because my interview was at 9am. The tour and lunch started at 10:40am
Thanks everyone!!
I will be arriving at 7:30 am and leaving at 6:00 pm (I am staying there for less than 12 hours)
Omg sounds tough!! I might have to do the same due to a tight work schedule 🙁
My interview was in the morning (9), but my flight left at 5:30 and I had pleeeenty of time to catch my flight, Like 3ish hours sitting in the airport. So you should be ok leaving after the interview day.

Hello everyone, I have an interview with Dr. Willmore scheduled in the upcoming weeks! Do any current students or anyone who has already interviewed here have any insights? I've read on here that the interview is either great or quite the opposite...Thanks for your help!
Got II on 10/23!! Completed 9/2. Scheduled interview for 11/27. Beyond excited
I used the Go Best Express. I just emailed the med school and they set it up for me 🙂 I took an uber back to the airport from the med school, but it was like $35.
Congrats!! Accepted by email?
Yep!
Yeah, from what I understand, it's to hold a spot, and you can hold multiple acceptances until April 30th according to AMCAS traffic rules.
Congrats! What did they email you back when you messaged them about your travel plans? Also, how long after you messaged them about your travel plans did they inform you about your interview? Thank you !!
They didn't reply, but I got the interview literally the next day. I will never forget that, thank you SLU.

Anyone interviewed in mid-September and has not heard back yet?

Question for any current med students or anyone familiar with admissions: I have taken nearly all my humanities credits at a community college and I have an II, when would admissions let me know if my CC credits are being accepted or not since it is done on a case-by-case basis? Or should I assume they have been since I have an interview? Note: Not yet done with my degree.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Does anyone have advice for thank you letters for SLU? I can't find my interviewer's e-mail online so I was wondering if people were just emailing admissions.
When they gave you the interviewer's name before your interview, they included an address. You can snail mail them a thank you note!
Ah yes great idea, thank you!!
