💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How would your mother describe you? (This was odd as I don't have all that great of a relationship with my mother, I'm 30, and married).
Tell me in less than 2 minutes why you can handle the curriculum in medical school. (I will assume this was rooted from a bad semester 10 years ago that hurt my GPA).
You look like you have a strong file. (Yes, more of a statement...and it was my first ''question''...Wasn't sure how to handle it)

✅ 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?

Read over my applications, looked at the school website, etc.

What impressed you positively?

I was very impressed with how organized everything was, and how nice most of the people were that I interacted with.

What impressed you negatively?

One of my interviewers seemed to be trying to get me to ''react'' by asking very pointed and very personal questions. I felt more like I was meeting with a psychologist than interviewing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How good the roads getting to Kirksville actually were. I thought that it would be a two lane for the last 30 or 40 miles...and that it's not near as far from KC as I thought.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was impressed, but one of my interviewers was rather unprepared, and seemed to not be all that interested in the process...and the other asked a bunch of prying and very personal questions. Like I said, overall I was pretty pleased, but certain things were less than impressive, almost to the point of me feeling like they were inappropriate. That being said, I had no hard feelings and would not be hesitant to attend KCOM, because the schools appears great.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
