💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

see above
where will you practice, why there? I was rural, so they wanted to dig in on that one. Be prepared! Good Luck! Pray to Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Why ku, if not ku where, what will you do if not ku, what do you know about ku? Short and too the point answers. Answers that sell your position, answer the question and work in your strengths!

What was the most interesting question?

What communities would you be willing to locate to, if you are accepted and graduate?

What was the most difficult question?

Mother and daughter come in to ER, husband killed in accident and mother has severe head trauma and daughter internal injuries. Before mother passes out, she says, no blood products. Both will likely die if not given blood? What do you do? Then other, lets pretend ?'s. There is really no good answer, just want to see your thought process.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews with premed advisor (who put together a committee), mock with doc friend, gathered info,trends,etc on school from web, prepared myself on a couple of biggies: tort and medicare/medicade (it helped!!)

What impressed you positively?

relaxed atmosphere, not too much posturing by comrades in arms. The deans came in and answered some good questions.

What impressed you negatively?

really would have liked a panel discussion with current students. Just ommission.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was two one-on-ones.

What are your general comments?

The first interview was open file and the doc didn't bring my file, but knew it very well! They wanted to know about me as a person, where i came from, how i got here, why i'm here, etc. Digging in on me. Sell, Sell, Sell!! The 2nd was closed file and we did alot of why KU, lets pretend, etc. Both were relaxed, yet wanted specific answers
