The surrounding area is pretty small but there are things to do especially if you like being outdoors. There are a few national parks within an hour-hour and a half drive, there is hiking, canoeing, horseback riding and zip lining locally. There are tons of community activities like walks, chili cook offs, etc and there is some shopping- Marshall’s, Walmart, Hibbetts, Lowe’s, JC Penny’s, Ross, Dress Barn, Ulta... quite a few others. There are also a few bars for sporting events if you are into that, and there are always volunteer events with the school clubs. There is enough to get involved with without getting too distracted. The area is beautiful with the mountains and there is a dog park that people meet at as well if you have a furry friend
It’s a very safe area too, never had any issues even walking from the school in the middle of the night after a late study session. Hope that helps

instate or out?
Now that is a tough one. I think the closest airport is Lexington which is abut 2 hrs away unfortunately. The Mountain Parkway is also not well lit at night so travel during the day. The city is working on expansion of the roadway as well so be aware of some construction. Its a nice peaceful drive and there isn't really a lot of traffic, but I do wish there was a closer airport
Last years thread looked like 3.2/498. Unsure if that is cGPA, sGPA, or both.
Pre-secondary rejection. Ouch. I think they review the whole application because I met the minimum requirements.
Interesting, do you mind sharing if both your cGPA and sGPA were above a 3.2?
What's the schedule look like for year 1 (labs in morning/afternoon)?
OOS, midwestern.
It’s usually about 8am-3pm. Lecture all day on Mondays and Fridays. Anatomy lab from 8-11am on Tuesdays and Thursday’s with classes after. OPP class on Wednesday’s from 1-5pm with lecture before starting at 10am I think. Lunch is at noon everyday
Undergrad gpa: no. Graduate gpa: yes, degree was all 400-600 level science classes with mostly A's. Avg MCAT with new test score still pending.
Their website says they give secondaries to "Screened applicants who meet reasonable academic requirements", so my guess is it's a holistic screen. My sGPA is <3.2 but I received a secondary with an MCAT well above their average
Ditto.
Same here
Typically no less than 3.2 and 498
I would go ahead and fill it out. They screen prior to sending out a secondary
+1, submitted secondary 7/22
Last year they started going out on July 25...so let’s hope we start hearing something soon
