There were OOS applicants from MS, OH, and AR at my interview. So yes. Most relaxed interview ever. If anyone has any questions, lmk.

I know they have a preference for AR residents and bordering states. I couldn't tell if they tailored my interview based on my application (lots of team-oriented/ leadership questions) or were just seeing if I was a team player. My cousin attends and says everyone helps each other out for the most part. My cousin had leadership positions in her sorority, and I was president of my fraternity. The majority of others that interviewed the same day as me played athletics in college or were leaders in some sort of club. But what are they looking for? I'd say the same as a majority of schools. What are your stats?

 

[emilia112]

460, 3.9

 

[BikiniBottomBaller]

460, 3.9

There were many with lower stats than this. Scores definitely are not holding you back. ECs? When did you get your app done? Being from Georgia, I would think you have a great shot.

 

[emilia112]
