No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Look at my sec. application, have mock interview at my school, had one of my close friends interviewd 4x, and one medical student interviewed me one last time. I took note and video-taped all the mock interviews. I download questions fron SDN and come up with my answers.

What impressed you positively?

How all the medical students seemed to have great interest at KU.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I already knew that they will have a new curriculum for the upcoming students and they're required to buy the PC tablet from the school. Oh yeah, if you claimed in ur sec. application that you're KS resident, they will check that again once you're in med. school to confirm that you're authentic KS residents.

What are your general comments?

Anticipated for more challenging and ethical questions but none were asked during the interview. My 2nd interview was not 100% closed file; the two interviewers already read my essay and some of my volunteer activities; I guess they just haven't got access to my grades and test score...whew thank GOD. KU has a lot of rural programs as well as international programs for their students so I can't wait to enter this school. In addition, some of the abroad programs even grant scholarships to eligible students, how awesome is that.
