Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Program that pays for medical school if you work for four years in an underpriviliged county of kansas.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are not logically planned out and need to be updated. I did not see anything that set kansas apart as a good school. I wanted to be awed and I was let down. This is the only med school in Kansas and I expected a little more.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had a difficult time getting there because the exit was closed, then the parking garage was full. I was almost late and I had left for the interview with more than enough time to get there.

What are your general comments?

First interview is one on one and open file. You stay in the same room and then two more interviewers come to you. One is a fourth year student and the other a physician. This interview is closed file. The interviews were low stress and very enjoyable. It's not a walk in the park but they are very kind and not in attack mode. In some ways that makes it harder to get a read on how you are doing. Most people feel like they do quite well in interviews like that so only time will tell who get's in and who does not. It takes more than a month to hear from them (that's what they told us anyway). Someone asked about in state and out of state acceptance and the answer given was not really an answer at all. So they avoided that question and I have no idea how they do it.
