Hey guys. Always apprehensive about making any posts on the internet, but this is a fairly welcoming community, so here goes:
Interviewed 11/10, was very impressed with the campus. Accepted 12/1, OOS, 3.65 sGPA/cGPA (3.95 each over the last 3 years) 509 MCAT.
Interview day was pretty low-stress. Check in from 0830-0900. At 0900 we were split into two groups of 4. My group toured Wilson Hall and heard an admissions/financial aid/student life presentation on the two halves of an hour, then had two 30-minute 1-on-1 interviews with physician faculty members. I definitely got a good draw on my interviewing faculty (one was from my hometown area and the other was a military doctor, which I look to be). Faculty members spent almost ten minutes casually speaking with me, then covered 8 bullet point questions and scored our responses out of 5. I thought the first one went best, but the second guy told me my interview score was a 38/40 so who actually knows. At 1100 we took an hour lunch (food was good!) and were dismissed, with an optional A-State campus tour.
I think the campus is beautiful. Several buildings look new. Brand new graduate housing going in 4-4.5 minute walk from Wilson Hall with 90 units dedicated to the medical school. Mixture of 1 and 2 bedroom units, some furnished some not, all inclusive (internet, cable, etc.) for like $800/person/month-ish is what we were told. This school seems like a great opportunity, and it will be heavily considered moving forward.
