Am I mistaken or is that there only question? (aside from COVID) but I would definitely put something unless it's all been said in the primary. I haven't received II, but I wrote about how my experiences align with their mission/the diversity I could bring and "why us"

I think it's smart to do whichever one will provide more context to your application/be the most authentic. I did a why us essay because I have a lot of connections to SLU as an institution and St. Louis as a city that are not immediately obvious from my primary and which I wanted to highlight.
I wrote a why us and got the II!

Congrats! Would you mind sharing when you were complete? and if any ties? Hoping you're right about II's so far, keeping fingers crossed
I believe I was complete 7/11. I wrote a why us response in the additional info because I felt like that was important for emphasizing my application as I don't have any ties.

Awesome, I did roughly the same, but didn't submit for a couple more days. Congrats again!
I was planning to apply to one more school, and it seems that not too many II's have gone out from Saint Louis. Would it be too late to apply here if I can quickly return a secondary?
Do it! It's a great school and the secondary is super easy. Just an optional essay for additional info.

I applied Early Decision and interviewed on 9/15. Yet, my VITA invite didn't come in until the 17th. Today, I called to ask about it and they said to be fair to all applicants I should "go ahead and complete it." Otherwise, there was no mention of it between my interview invite, the interview itself or even the virtual tour. Good luck to everyone applying this cycle and don't let yourself get too crazy about the process! Stay driven and positive, it all comes together!

II just now! Super excited, St. Louis is high on my list!
Congratulations!!!!!!! Can I ask about your stats and complete date please?
Same, I got the VITA invite but there was no mention of it from SLU. I might ask them about it during the interview day. Have you gotten invited to do VITA yet?
Lol I just realized I haven't gotten it either. It's not in the interview tab or in any of their emails. Maybe they'll send it tomorrow morning?
Hopefully lol!
I haven't got mine either.

I was complete 7/13
Sounds like they are going in order. Last ones were I believe 7/11. I am 7/29, sounds like it will be a while. Take note: IMPORTANT to submit EARLY, ASAP.
7/11 complete, haven't heard anything. Hopefully not a soft R, really like this school.
Holy s**t. INTERVIEW INVITE! Was not expecting that.
10/12 - earliest date available when i was scheduling
SLU was a beautiful school (interviewed today), but my interviewer was the toughest I've had so far. Student interview was pretty chill.

I'm interviewing 10/6. I have a new activity (part-time job) that's not on my application. Should I upload some kind of document about this before my interview? Or ever? If so, do I just format it similarly to AMCAS experiences section?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
I think if you just started it might be easier to just mention it during the interview.
Mine ended at like 4 pm
