How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, KCOM website, practiced with frequently asked questions. Previous mock interview.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty reminded me of my current faculty. My first interview lasted 1 hr and 15 minutes because it was like I was in one of my profs office just chatting about life. I felt very much at home.

What impressed you negatively?

The LOCATION of course. The facilities are pretty nice and the out of date parts will be better when they finish the new building (currently a large hole). The gym and activities are awesome. The big problem is finding a job for my husband.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I was VERY impressed with the school and I went into it thinking I wouldn't be. It is super laid back but it seems to be a difficult and challening program. I really liked the online masters programs they offer. It felt a lot like home, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. One thing i was hoping to get out of medical school is a change in pace. I want some non-rural experiences too. Of course, you leave for years 3 and 4 so you can always change then. But I'm still not sure it is my overall fav.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
