How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my 2* essays, PS, SDN, Alumni magazine from KCOM

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely friendly, students were so happy, interview day included activities for a guest, program seems amazing. Missions to South Africa, community involvement, all of it was awesome. Kirksville was a bigger town than I had originally thought it would be.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt a little unsure if I could get the location I would want for my 3rd and 4th yr rotations.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I thought it was pretty conversational, both interviewers asked about my experiences, grades (two lower ones), MCAT scores (since I took it twice), why I would be interested in moving to a small town (I'm from a big city), how would my family feel, ect.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
