Where are you getting this data? My MSAR shows ~449 IS applicants, 89 interviewed and 31 matriculated. Also very curious about post-II acceptance rate since they interview over a thousand people for 180 spots.
When is your interview? There are directions on the portal that say to email admissions if you still have not been assigned a student interviewer by the Thurs before your interview. I also hadn't gotten one so I emailed them and they basically said I might not have one or one might contact me over the weekend.
VITA sends something every Thursday, so don't sweat it unless you don't hear anything Thursday, I got invited earlier in the week last week, but didn't get anything from VITA until Thursday. And yes... I thought the same thing about them not mentioning it, so I wasn't anticipating the VITA email, but it is required and they ask you do to it within one month of your invite. Congrats!
If you don't mind, what's your complete date?
I completed it the day after interview. It wasn't necessary to have it done beforehand! The only thing is, it is expected to be completed within a month of receiving the VITA invitation. It is also to your advantage to have it done ASAP after your interview to avoid delays in application decision so that the committee has your full application to review.
July 21st!
I think you should accept the offer. You can accept multiple offers. But I think by April 15th you can only hold 3 offers and by April 30th you have to make your final choice.
Congrats! Did you receive the news over email or a phone call?Got the A today! Good luck to you all
Did you receive the acceptance offer via phone or email?
Congrats!!! I absolutely love St. Louis and I’m super happy for you! If you don’t mind, can you share ur interview experience at St. Louis? How long was it for example and how difficult was it?
Yes mine was awful & I was literally rambling haha. I honestly doubt they even looked at it.
I got the WL yesterday, around the same time people were getting A’s.
I wrote a lot and was very concerned it was too much, but I did diversity and transitioned that into a SLU love letter (aka "why SLU")
diversity essay that demonstrated my fit
I used it as a why SLU both last cycle and this cycle. Got accepted this time without an interview.
I left it blank 🙂 why SLU would probably be a good option but it’s not super necessary if you don’t feel you need to.
Sorry, I think I said it a bit strangely. I meant I wasn't interviewed this cycle. I interviewed later last cycle and wasn't able to get off the waitlist. This cycle they called and told me they would accept me on Oct. 15 without an interview based off my waitlist rank from last cycle.
Mine were each almost an hour
Yeah, it happened to a couple people in last year’s thread also.
