What impressed you positively?

Facilities are very high tech, 8 patient simulators. There's an apartment building across the street with beautiful facilities, is quite inexpensive, and houses mostly med students.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview group was large--I think about 15-16 of us; it was somewhat impersonal yet very much a sales pitch of ways they could convince me to come there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing in particular...

What are your general comments?

The interview itself was fairly laid back and not stressful. I felt I could express myself and my reasons for wanting to be a doctor. The sales pitch in the morning was lengthy and thorough, extremely well thought and expressed. The school is very proud of their curriculum (and they should be). It was a good experience, and I learned a lot about medical school, and the questions to ask other schools who weren't as thorough as KCUMB.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
