💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Please expand on your research experience.
What are your weaknesses?
Why do you like to be a physician, why did you choose osteopathic medicine, and why did you apply to KCUMB(this was actually asked as one question)?

What was the most interesting question?

No question seemed to stand out. All of them were basic like why you choose osteopathic medicine, why you choose KCUMB, or what were your research experiences.

What was the most difficult question?

If all the schools you applied to accepted to you, where will you go and why? I was tempted to say KCUMB, but I chose to say MSUCOM b/c it will grant me in-state tuition.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read my primary and secondary application, had a mock interview, and read KCUMB's school catalog.

What impressed you positively?

The students were enthusiastic, but honest. The facilities were impressive, and I particularily like the study halls which have study rooms with plenty of room and a computer. The apartments located nearby (which they gave me a tour) were impressive as well (they had an excersise room, study hall, and the rooms were cute).

What impressed you negatively?

The campus appears to be in a somewhat bad part of the neighbor hood; however, if you play it smart, I don't feel it'll be much of an issue. The school is also large and some classes like anatomy and microbiology will be taught by professor via television screens. This may be bad for students who prefer smaller classes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

None.

What are your general comments?

The interview was conversational in tone. Though one or two questions were tough, I felt that I answered them very well and confidently.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
