What impressed you positively?

The admissions faculty is very impressive and cares a great deal for prospective students. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure your visit to Kirksville is a positive experience. Interviewers seemed very familiar with my file and were well-prepared. Very informative. Also, KCOM has a new computerized "man" that is being integrated into the curriculum.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are a little older, but entirely functional. More traditional curriculum.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I was very familiar with both the school and Kirksville.

What are your general comments?

I had a very positive interview experience. One interview was more conversational and the other more formal. I was very impressed by the level of preparation and familiarity both interviewers had with my file. I really felt like they had a chance to get to know a little more about "me" and not just the more routine questions. Also, it was nice that there was an hour dedicated to each interview. (It goes by FAST.)
