How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, read up on some HMO stuff, interviewed with generic questions myself during longer trips in the car.

What impressed you positively?

The fellow interviewees were smart and relatively ''normal.'' My interviewers were all very cool and laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

The KU school isn't all that pretty. I felt that the hospital could be a depressing place. But I'm a naive MS0. The have no grants or scholarships for international electives.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they'd give me my own folder for miscelaneous packets of information recieved throughout the day.

What are your general comments?

The whole experience was nice. Some boring parts, e.g. FAFSA info, but this is difficult to make interesting, I'm sure. The interviewers were cool, and their questions weren't as lame as I had expected them to be (fellow interviewees claimed that KU's questions were more ''intense'' than the other schools they had interviewed at. This may be true, but I didn't find them to be too bad.)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
