What impressed you positively?

The atmosphere @ KCOM. It's a small school but that's the good thing about it--everyone's so friendly! The classrooms/anatomy labs are pretty up-to-date; the cadavor:student ratio is 1:4, which is definitely a plus. The school's main focus is really on its students. They encourage extracurricular activities, which is odd for a med school to do.

What impressed you negatively?

how small kirksville is!!! I've read about how small kirsville is but reality hit only after I got on the idy-bidy plane to fly from St Loius to Kirksville. The biggest city is one hour away (columbia)

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview experience was good. The admissions staff at KCOM are some of the most nice/genuine ppl you'll ever meet!! They really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable/welcomed. My first interviewer gave me a mixed impression--I couldnt tell whether he liked me or not. He focused mainly on my grades (be prepared to explain anything less than the perfect A's on your transcript) and didnt ask me much about anything else. At times he would say something encouraging...then the next minute he'd stray off and start telling me to find a back-up plan because I probably wouldnt make it through med school...!! It was the most bizzarrrre conversation ever. He even asked me about my religion/marital status, which I thought were pretty inappropriate for an interview. Anyhow, the second interview went well and was more relaxed & conversational. I felt like my second interviewer really tried to get to know me on a personal basis. There's also a 10-15 minute interview with one of the admissions staff members--i wouldn sweat it.
