any chance anyone on here knows if there's an estimate of WL numbers for this past years admitted class? or a rough ballpark of what to expect?
 
if i've already submitted a letter of interest (post alternate list notification) in January, and then an update letter in March - is it advisable to submit one more? or probs not because its a ranked waitlist anyways? any guidance would be helpful!
 
Either or, though if you're interested in an academic job later on and want a lot of research experience, WUSTL would be the one to go to. They have more resources and connections that can get you into papers and presentations more readily than SLU can. Research at SLU is hit or miss -- you really need to look up your PI beforehand to see how prolific they are, and if their pubs historically include other students/residents on them. Research is definitely something you can do year-round or focused on the summer. It depends on what you hope to get out of it and how gung ho you are about completing the research. I say that because I've had experience working with other SLU med students that jumped onto projects and pretty much piggy-backed without contributing much except for attending meetings.

Thank you! With the option of WashU research that makes SLU a lot more appealing 🙂

Maybe this was discussed already but does anybody know about how big the WL is vs. how many they accept? They seem to be kinda secretive about it lol
they interview about 800 per amcas and accept prob 2.2 people per seat its like 180 seats right so 396 acceptances. rest are waitlist ~400 folks on WL
