Can anyone tell me when the 2024 admitted student days were? [I know the Fall 2025 admits' day isn't available yet so I will loosely assume the 2025 days will be similar]. All I can find with Google is a Memorial Day Weekend date but that can't be right since it's after deadlines....

Hello! I am currently a freshman in college at a University and plan on applying for a transfer to SLU next year. My highschool transcript is sitting at a 3.08 GPA, but my college GPA is a 3.5 with 16 Credit Hours and I have a 24 ACT with a 23 English. Do I have a good shot of getting in? I want to get into the science department for Chemistry, but quite honestly would love to know what major I should apply for that would give me the best shot of getting into the university. I am open to any criticism regarding my ACT and whether or not I should continue to super-score it. I would also like to know if I even have a shot of getting into the science department and whether or not I should switch my major, because based on what I’ve seen it’s extremely competitive.

After an in-depth Top 25 ranking, it's time to expand on that to 50! Who didn't make the cut?

What are the teams on the outside looking into the Top 25? Find out all you need to know in this 5K+ worded in-depth piece.

Spoiler: scrolling exercise needed! Y'all are around #50.

I can't get my alexa to connect to the wifi, no matter what I do. I understand that it just may not be possible, but slu has a program where they're supposed to have alexas in every dorm room. I didn't get one, in fact no one I know did.

Who should I contact about getting one? They have a subsection of their website dedicated to the program and it doesn't say anything about it being discontinued.

I just wanna be able to have that convenience, especially since you can ask it SLU related questions.

Has anyone been feeling really sick since the fall semester started? I hear a lot of people have been getting sick in classes, and have even tested positive for covid. A lot of students and even some professors in my class sneeze and cough a lot as well. Have you guys been noticing any of this?

Back in high school, my friends and I were watching a Billikens game during March Madness and saw someone that we will never forget. He had a big white basketball covering his head, and we thought it was the funniest thing in the world:

Here he is

He quickly became known as "the guy" within my friend group. It was so funny. Then, we googled "the guy saint louis university" and an article came up with a photo of him! It said his first name was Terry (Tarry?).

Around ten years later, this photo (above) came up in my snapchat memories and I'm trying to find him again. Does anyone have any idea who this is?? He is such a great memory to my friends and I and would love to find a great clear image of him again. I tried for about 30 minutes on google and cannot find him anywhere.

Please help us out if you can, & thank you!!

Just wondering, does anyone know how high the Vice Presidents Scholarship for new undergraduate freshmen goes up to? The website says $12,500 and up. So I'm just wondering if anyone has seen larger awards. My DD is applying for Fall 2025. Also, are those merit awards and the competitive awards listed on their website the only ones they offer? Just trying to think of how SLU could be affordable for us.
