<p>i also got into rockhurt’s medical scholars program…its the same as slu’s im just deciding which college to go to</p>
<p>I am currently a sophomore in the Medical Scholars program at SLU. Feel free to ask me any questions!</p>
<p>Packers12,
My D is accepted into the Medical Scholars program, but we are not sure how good is this program, and what’s the percentage of kids who were accepted and then either transferred out or dropped out of the program by their sophomore year? Can you share the experiences you have so far about St. Louis university and Medical Scholars program?</p>
<p>Bump…thanks!
Can current med scholars please comment…how hard it is to stay on track with the 3.5 GPA?. What would be good undergrad majors?. Is the whole AMCAS application and interview required at the end of sophomore year?. How hard is it to make it through this interview?. Are there a lot of supporting programs for med scholars to make it into SLUmed?. Please highlight experiences…</p>
<p>look deeply into this program and consider wisely before making your decision to attend the school solely for the sake of med scholars</p>
<p>maintaining the 3.5 gpa at slu (i heard) is the easy part.
the hard parts (again, from sources other than myself):
-actually enjoying the campus on which you will live and study for 4 straight years
-being culturally and philosophically enriched
-meeting people who are not majoring in biology, somehow having been misled to think that this major is a ticket into medical school
-meeting inspiring professors
-finding a good social scene (outside the dorm room)
-not being outcast if you can’t “fit in”</p>
<p>again, these do not constitute the whole and entire truth, but they do sound like precautionary pieces of advice from those who may not have had the experience they expected and/or deserved.</p>
<p>^ lol I know a few people who go to SLU including med scholars. I think if a person tells you they feel like an “outcast” at the school, its a pretty safe to bet that they won’t enjoy their 4 years there. By very definition though, most people are not outcasts and are pretty happy with the social scene. </p>
<p>That being said, I’m sure whoever you heard that is the exception, not the rule. Most people at SLU do just fine socially and are able to meet and work with professors if they are willing to seek out opportunities. </p>
<p>But yeah you’re right, most pre-meds, at any school for that matter, are bio majors. That’s just how it works out. But you can major in something else if you are so inclined for sure.</p>
