Honestly, I've lived in STL all my life and I know no one who was accepted to one of these schools, but was not accepted to the other. I'm sure it's happened (probably both ways) but I've never heard of it.
Congrats on the CBI bid.
So the less students, the better the school?? That makes absolutely no sense.
As someone stated both are very good schools, but neither is an elite academic institution.
You're more than welcome to go onto the Tiger board and talk SLU smack, but that probably wouldn't be a good idea tonight......or any other night, for that matter.
