How did you prepare for the interview?

I shadow an alumni of KCUMB so I asked him tons of questions. Read through SDN. Read over my application the night before and researched the schools website.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone at the school is very happy. They are not typical med students. Although they are very buisy studying there lives don't seem to be as stressful as other med students I have spoken with.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have to check out of my hotel well before the interview was over. If I had know that I would have stayed an extra day. I had to leave my bags in an unlocked room at the hotel and someone went through them, found my cell phone and made a call. I was very upset about that and I do not reccomed staying at the Courtage hotel for your interview.

What are your general comments?

Overall the interview is great. The campus is very nice and the students are awesome.
