About
Working with specialized pre-health and pre-law advisors informed by Saint Louis University's
Jesuit mission dedicated to serving others, SLU students foster their personal character
and competencies that are quintessential to creating a compelling application for
health professions schools and law schools. Professional schools look for students
with outstanding academic achievement and standardized test performance, as well as
impressive extracurricular involvement. Our advisors promote strong academic performance,
intellectual curiosity, professionalism, and commitment to teamwork and community
engagement. They offer personal and customized assistance to aid each student with
course planning, resume building, navigating the application process and overcoming
challenges encountered along the way.
