It ends after your interview or lunch, whichever comes latest. No idea. Yep, though if your interview time is late (my first one was 2:30pm), you may want to show up early for the tour (starts at 10:45 iirc). You receive your time via email along with your interviewer name shortly after scheduling your interview date.

II today!! OOS, Complete 9/8/17
Stay another night or don’t go. It’ll be a huge middle finger if u do that. Remeber you are applying to them they aren’t applying to you
I think they take lunch into consideration when making an admission decision. I'd definitely stay
The med students and the dean of admissions explicitly stated twice during lunch that none of the students are involved in the process of making a decision, and told us to ask whatever we want during lunch. I guess there was no need for them to lie.
Really?? They said the opposite to us. Well, not outright, but they sort of let it slip out and tried hiding it. And they never explicitly told us it wouldn't be taken into consideration. Either way, not that people should do this ever, but don't let your guard down at SLU
LOL good game, I definitely let my guard down a few times and left early - I guess that's one more spot for all you guys aha
Congrats on all of the recent IIs! It looks like they're either not going in order or they're maybe re-reviewing applications as the cycle moves forward? I was complete mid July and haven't heard anything.
What interview dates are being offered?
What interview dates are being offered?
What? Why?? Are you basing this on something, or is it more like your feeling?
I think it would be super weird to not let interviewees ask questions that really evaluate the program.
Hopefully I'm completely wrong, but it's just a suspicion I got. My interviewer sort of let it slip that the lunch was evaluated. I also noticed that all the students at the lunch were much more keen to knowing my name than they've been at other places. But again, neurotic premed here. So take this with a grain of salt
Hmm. Well, I jokingly asked if the dinner was evaluated and didn't get a straight answer, but I just thought maybe it was the person being awkward. Lol
We were explicitly told that the tour and the lunch were not evaluated tho. So... it would be super weird of them to lie about it. I guess anything is possible in the crazy world of med school admissions, but it just doesn't sound right.
Accepted! Email notification this morning, interviewed 10/16. Good luck everyone!
Accepted by email this morning!! OOS, interviewed mid October

congrats you guys!!! How was your interview experience here? Was it chill?
The day was very relaxed for me. My interviewer was very nice, genuinely seemed interested in me and knew all the details about my application. The tour and lunch were chill, the med students were nice. Oh and the associate dean made a couple of appearances, SUPER nice guy
What are the hours of the interview day?

Does SLU accept updates?

Current student, feel free to ask me questions about the school.
You should be very excited about the new hospital to be finished in 2020. More ICU beds means we can continue to improve as a tertiary care center, receiving the sickest patients from across the SSM network and other hospitals throughout MO and IL. I think the level of acuity of patients, as well as their limited access the health/socioeconomic resources makes for a very beneficial educational experience, we really are "serving the under served".
LCME probation is on track to be removed October 2018 as stated in a recent meeting with deans, pending a visit by LCME staff in Summer 2018.

Lol, Why is SLU mean to their undergrad premeds (nonmed-scholar) 🙁 I really like this school, but they haven't said anything about my application in months. kinda giving up hope at this point

I have pretty decent ties to SLU and have nothing from them! Complete July 2nd. I feel like things may start happening soon.
Anyone completed in September heard anything?
when are you arriving, it is never too late 😉
Is it better to send an update letter before or after your interview?
SLU is still inviting! Complete mid-August, dates available as early as next week to first week of January. Nice of them to show me love again since they invited me in my past application cycle.
I'll be rescinding my application, however, since they seem to have an escrow requirement for an international now - don't remember getting that before. Good luck to everyone else!

nothing since july
Is there a FB group for accepted students?
Thank you. If only those holding acceptance(s) would do the same...
Just got an email, I was put in the alternate list, which I guess is the same as the waitlist? Kinda bummed out because I felt really good about the interview, but I guess that confirms my doubts about self evaluation lol.
Good luck to everyone still in the running!
Good luck to everyone still in the running!
I got a decision today from late October, so I figure you should be hearing back soon.
Same here. I also felt really good about it. Maybe they've already filled most of their class.. who knows.
