SLU Medical Scholars Program

<p>Shams where did you hear that from?</p>

<p>My brother is in the program and just had his interview for the medical school. I also have friends who are 4th and 5th years in the program. I also know the people on the selection committee personally.</p>

<p>hey i got waitlisted by them</p>

<p>should i wait till april/may for them to give me a response or should i go on with my other college choices? cause i heard this program isnt really a program and med school acceptance isnt guaranteed cause you have to do an interview sophomore year</p>

<p>is it worth it to go to slu?</p>

<p>I got an email notifying acceptance into the program.</p>

<p>I second medprogram's question. Is it worth it?</p>

<p>i just got the acceptance right now. </p>

<p>it depends. it seems as though is you maintain the requirement youre in (98% they say) but if you maintain their requirements at a different school your chances of getting into med school are really good. This just seems like a good back up plan for just in case . . . </p>

<p>who knows. i guess i'll have to figure it out by may1.</p>

<p>i heard all people who weren't accepted to the program are automatically waitlisted. </p>

<p>@lilshamz: congrats! what state are you in? Do you think you might go? SLU is going to be practically free for me, so it's an option</p>

<p>I was accepted too, but I don't know too much about this program, how is the SLU medical school ranked and there is no MCAT right?</p>

<p>you are required to take mcat but,scores do no affect admission.congrats by the way.</p>

<p>SLU is ranked around #60, in the middle as far as med schools go. They have more of a community feel (diverse patient population, not a big academic center, clinically-focused, not a lot of research going on although their new research building was recently completed which should bring in some NIH $$$). The students seemed very down to earth and non-competitive and you should get good clinical training at SLU.</p>

<p>I don't really have anything good to say about St. Louis, the city itself.</p>

<p>i'm from the great state of Illinois! :)</p>

<p>what does it mean if i havent heard anything at all?</p>

<p>Accepted as well. Notification is through email, so check your spam folder as well. I'm pretty sure you are sent an email regardless of decision, so you might as well call.</p>

<p>Can someone who is in the SLU Med Scholar's program comment on how their undegrad and med school experience has been so far?</p>

<p>If they had to do this all over again would they still select this program?</p>

<p>How do the med students from SLU match with residencies?</p>

<p>Their match list is publicly available here:
Matchlist</a> || Saint Louis University School of Medicine</p>

<p>Thanks for the matchlist link Bluedevilmike. Do other schools like GWU, UCs, NWU, BU also have such links?</p>

<p>No problem, this one was pretty easy for me to find. As for the rest, your google skills are probably as good as mine. I don't have those websites offhand.</p>

<p>I was not accepted into the program, and did not get any notification about being waitlisted so I do not think you are waitlisted if you don't get in. But I could be wrong. </p>

<p>Needless to say, college truly confuse me. The schools you think you might have a shot at, you don't get into, and the ones you think you had no shot at getting into, you actually get interviews for. I thought I had no chance at Northwestern's HPME program and was hoping to get into WUSLU's instead, but I got an interview for NU and not WUSTL.</p>

<p>Just to let you know easonh89, this thread is not discussing WUSTL's medical program, we are discussing Saint Louis University's medical program. SLU and WUSTL are not the same.</p>

<p>has anyone gotten stuff in the mail for this? If they send it out on March 1st...it should be in my mailbox by now! What if they made a mistake by email and I really didn't get in?? Ahhh</p>

<p>Any ideas when the Pres. scholarship results will be announced?</p>

<p>Yeah..They said either today or sometime later this week</p>
