How did you prepare for the interview?

Two mock interviews, researched osteopathic medicine, read all these comments here at studentdoc.net, and ate a lot of raisins.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The fabulously huge oak trees on the campus were breath-taking, but more importantly the curriculum was fundamental, the students were open and the opportunities were encouraging.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The city itself would not be a high selling point and one cannot ignore a $35,000 price tag attached to these white-coats.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I learned what I needed to know when I was there, and was prepared before hand to know what I needed to know to get me there.

What are your general comments?

My one and only interview, late late in the year, surpassed that which I expected it to be. Although taken aback by the local community, I was encouraged to learn that KCUMB cares about its people, especially those in dire need. The school, a million dollar institution, was not that ivory tower on the hill but rather a sanctuary for the dejected. I did the best I could do with the resources I had and couldn't tell you either way if I think I will be accepted or just the opposite. Regardless, though, of the outcome, it was a useful experience that I will take with me in all of my future interviews.
