How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed ethical topics online, reviewed my essay and experiences, went to bed early the night before

What impressed you positively?

The facilities including the anatomy lab and the simulation labs, the students, the availability of lecture handouts and audio versions of lectures, the residency match rates, rotation opportunities, and the faculty

What impressed you negatively?

The surrounding neighborhood, though with it being in a big city I wouldn't use it as an excuse to not go there. There are plenty of nice areas to live in with a quick commute.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How I would be a bit tired in the afternoon for my interview from the presentations and the tour that took place that morning.

What are your general comments?

The day started with a presentation about KCUMB and the background of osteopathic medicine. Approximately 20 people were in the interviewee group. The group then met with 5 or 6 KCUMB students for an open question and answer session. A tour was given and interviewees met back in the cafeteria for lunch with students. Interviews followed. I had toured the campus once before and I am still very impressed with what KCUMB has to offer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
