I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what sort of glide ratio you get with full brakes and slide slip? An instructor used this to correct a very high approach but I was curious what the side slip adds to the descent rate.

Its a Forward Slip...Not a side slip...

A distinction without a difference. The aircraft has no idea whether your fuselage happens to be aligned with a runway or not.

Just to be clear, what Bruce is correctly stating is that there is no difference between a "side slip" and a "forward slip" with regards to aerodynamics. The difference is relative to ground track when a cross wind is present.
