Is SLU known for giving decent scholarship opportunities/ financial aid packages?

Not sure on how many they give out but there a few $30,000 scholarships (through Pathway Scholarships) you can apply for as well as a couple ones that cover full tuition/fees (through the DEI office). They're based on financial need, service, leadership, academics/research etc depending on which you apply for. Other than that I don't know about how good their financial aid packages typically are

My student interview was awful because I didn’t know the answer to one of the group questions and I looked so uncultured

BUT I actually just got an A off the waitlist as well today!!! So I guess it didn’t matter too much !!

Appeal to school-specific thread: SLU required PREview for the 2023-2024 cycle.

Complete the 2023 Situational Judgment Test Experience survey.

HPSA/SDN has the 2023 SJT Experience Survey available to anyone preparing for SJTs (especially Casper and PREview). If you completed the 2022 survey, you are welcome to go ahead and complete the survey again. This survey consists of multiple pages and will take up to 10 minutes. You can also place yourself on a waitlist for a study focusing more on school-run SJTs run through platforms like Kira Talent, to be released later in the year.

Your feedback matters!
We learned a lot about how applicants prepared for Casper and PREview last year, but the number of PREview schools has almost doubled this cycle! Over 20% of all AMCAS applicants will likely have taken PREview, and up to 90% of all medical school applicants will likely have taken Casper this cycle (according to Acuity Insights). This does not include applicants in non-medical professions who have had to take these assessments for admission to physician assistant, anesthesiology assistant, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, or physical therapy programs, where we see a trend that applicants with higher Casper results are preferred. Medical residency applicants are also being asked to complete Acuity Insights Assessments, and very little is known about how program directors use these data. Your responses are vital to get objective insights on how admissions committees value the results of these exams.

Your feedback matters!
We want to hear from as many people as possible, especially those attending or applying outside of medicine (MD/DO). This year saw an expansion of SJTs in admissions, and more information has been made available on preparing for these assessments. We want to stay current with these trends to guide future applicants and students facing these SJTs.

Many of our findings from the 2022 survey align with the NAAHP Testing Task Force report released last summer. This includes concerns about proctoring, consistency of scoring, and concern that applicants are paying for validity research. But we need more student voices to gain a louder voice to advocate for future health professional school applicants.

Your feedback has helped HPSA develop a workshop focused on preparing for SJTs like Casper and PREview. This workshop is part of our Becoming a Student Doctor preparation course, and we have already had some positive results among those who have participated in our mock interview workshops. An updated workshop will be presented at the UC Davis Prehealth Conference on October 14, and we welcome opportunities to present the full-length SJT workshop to your campus!

Fill out this survey and help future applicants become physicians in their chosen profession!

Praying for an interview

 

[deleted1164335]

Any updated advice from those who have recently interviewed here?

 

[mango_med]

Complete 8/26. silenceeee since then😢

 

[NotADoctor1]

Any updated advice from those who have recently interviewed here?

The faculty interview is a pretty standard open-file interview. My student interviewer had one student interviewing two candidates, which was kind of weird but it went okay. Just stay relaxed

 

[revecake]

Is anyone considering applying for the SLU scholarships? A lot of them seem to have early submission dates (January 2024), and my acceptance email said they would send out login credentials once your acceptance offer is processed. Has anyone received these credentials?

 

[Rocky1976$]

Any recent interviews this week or last?

Once you're accepted they'll give you a SLU login which you use to apply for scholarships. I'm not sure what that means for those accepted after the deadlines. Maybe contact financial aid?

 

[calmandrain]

I've read through the interview advice but does anyone have insight into the student interview? What should I expect?

Also the main takeaways I got from the faculty interview is 1) know your application very well because they like to ask you to elaborate on experiences and 2) have a why SLU? response ready. Any other important things to know for the faculty interview?
