✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, practice questions, kept up to date in current events/medical news/DO issues.

What impressed you positively?

How genuine everyone was. Everyone was truly nice, interested, and helpful. And: hearing about the farmer's market in the warmer months . . .

What impressed you negatively?

A rather apparent lack of diversity.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had planned for a little extra time to explore Kirksville/surrounding areas. The tour/interviews were a great way to get to know the school, but the rest of the community is still a bit of a mystery.

What are your general comments?

Sweetly stress-free. The two one-on-one interviews were truly conversational; it was clear the purpose was a mutual get-to-know-you experience. They want you to know what you're getting into as well. The tours and demonstration were helpful and equally laid back. Also, staying with a 'student ambassador' for the night was as useful as anything.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
