How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at practice interview questions, interview skills workshop, read about controversial issues in medicine.

What impressed you positively?

The students and staff were extremely friendly! The campus was nice and is solely a medical school, and you get some clinical training early on. The curriculum is called the GENESIS system and is systems-based.

What impressed you negatively?

The area seems slightly desolate but not too bad. 3rd and 4th year clinicals may not be in KC.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Well, it was cold and gloomy that day.

What are your general comments?

I was interviwed by Dr. McCandless, professor of pharmacology, and Anne Wilson, who works in Alumni Relations. Everyone was interviewed by a PhD and either a DO or a staff member. It was not intimidating, and they get you very relaxed with an introductory speech, tour, lunch, and waiting in the student lounge before a 1st year takes you to your interview. I was notified of acceptance on 11/4/04!
