What are your general comments?
Met in conference room with applicants (breakfast provided). Chat about KCUMB and explanation about osteopathic medicine. Met with KCUMB students. Q & A session and a tour of the school. Lunch with students(tacos...they were delicious, but bad bad bad before an interview!!!). Then we were fitted for a white coat and interviewed. You were free to go afterwards. I was done by 2pm, but had to wait another hour for the others to finish so I could take the shuttle back to the hotel with them.
