What impressed you positively?

How nice everyone was! When I walked in, someone immediately greeted me and offered to take my coat. The admissions counselors were all extremely nice. Also, one of the professors that interviewed me came in later in the day just to say hi to everyone and chat.

What impressed you negatively?

Kirksville is very small, which I'm ok with because I come from a town the same size, but I was disappointed that it's not close at all to anywhere bigger! Also, lunch was not good, a sandwich and chips. I would suggest eating a good breakfast!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school is actually bigger than I thought it'd be. I also didn't realize how well known the school is and how highly regarded the students are. They get accepted into some pretty impressive residencies.

What are your general comments?

You actually have 3 interviews, 2 1-hour interviews with a professor or faculty member and 1 short 15 minute interview with an admissions counselor. They are no big deal. They really just want to talk to you. One of my interviewers talked so long that they had to come and get me to go to my next interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
