How did you prepare for the interview?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students I stayed with were the nicest people- they were realistic and didn't hide anything- they told me the good and the bad. I appreciated that.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The school is REALLY nice, but the surrounding 3 mile radius of the school is really ghetto. It was just really unsafe- but outside of that? Kansas City is actually REALLY big for any of you who thought the school was in the middle of a cornfield

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew how STRESS-LESS the interview would be. It was realllly a breeze. I stressed out over nothing. I interviewed on Thursday, was accepted the following day, and had my letter of acceptance in my hand on Monday- so they are pretty quick! It was my first interview, and I feel very blessed- the school was great. I think you should definately learn about the Genesis system [ask someone if you don't know] and make sure you like the systemic based curriculum. It makes for nice talk in your interview if you know how they work.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I think you should definately find a student to stay with- talk to them ahead of time on the phone. It will save you a lot of money. Renting a car so that you can see the real city and figure out if you can live in the area was a plus for me. Realize that in reality, you will only be here for 2 years probably- and that rotations will most likely be somewhere else. So suck it up cuz its med school and KCUMB ranks well.
