What was the most interesting question?

I thought all of the questions were pretty standard interview questions

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

No real difficult questions, though I did get asked the ethical question. The question was to name an ethical issue and take a stand on that issue. I was probed further with a twist in the ethical issue I proposed but take comfort in the fact that it is acceptable to say "I don't feel that I can honestly answer that question". I think they just wanted to see that I knew what was going on in medicine and had an opinion on it. They also seemed to be OK with me saying that I don't have all the answers.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read this website and thoroughly took notes on difficult questions, had a mock interview, talked with a current KCUMB student, and reviewed the information I sent in with my application.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everything impressed me postively. The students had nothing negative to say and the school seemed to work on helping students get the best education. I also was impressed by the school's sincere interest in family first and spirituality. I also loved the parking because at my current school you could spend over an hour looking for a parking space.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I had no negative impressions. But for the people reading this that may be scared by the "bad neighborhood" I say don't freak out. It's not the suburbs but it is just like any other urban city environment. It is a really good school so I would advise you to come see for yourself.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was going to snow!! It started out raining and by 10 am the temperature had dropped and it all turned to snow. I nearly froze!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview and I have to say that my interview experience was great. To begin with, I stayed with a 1st year med student who gave me some pointers and tips and asked me interview questions. I got to meet some other students from her class that really helped me to relax and enjoy the day and the student ambassadors were great. I got accepted so I would say I had a good interview also.
