✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, but honestly it was more conversational and personal than asking questions

What impressed you positively?

They were very passionate about their mission, all staff and students were very personable and honest about their experiences, beautiful scenery, nice facility but mainly in one building

What impressed you negatively?

The students and faculty were very open that if you are not interested in primary care you should look into other options for schools because that is their main focus. The area is also very small.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The tour would last like 3 hours

What are your general comments?

I think it is a nice school and they are very welcoming, especially of people wanting to work in KY long term. They had really read my file (to the point where they wished me a happy early birthday) and were very kind and interested in me as a student, but there was definitely a strong preference for primary care and it did not seem like much support was in place for people interested in other specialties
