How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews, school website, SDN

What impressed you positively?

They invest a lot of money, time and effort into making sure their curriculum is as efficient as possible; high quality teaching staff (one of their faculty recently received a Robert J. Glaser Distinguised Teacher Award)

What impressed you negatively?

Discriminatory and illegal questions asked during the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I'd come with a plan on how to deal with illegal and discriminatory questions.

What are your general comments?

I believe Kentucky's school of medicine would offer any student the opportunity to receive a quality education; their facilities are adequate, they have reputable faculty, and their curriculum is well-designed. Moreover, the people in Kentucky were for the most part very polite. Unfortunately, I had the misfortune of being asked a number of illegal questions by a noticeably inexperienced interviewer; I believe their admissions process needs to be seriously scrutinized and reformed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
