What are your general comments?
The day was very well organized and one of the shortest, which was nice. We watched a small presentation and then the interviewers came in and got us. My first interviewer was a M3 and she was so nice... really helped me to relax. My next interviewer was faculty and she was a bit more intense but still very nice. After that we had lunch and took a tour. The students were great and seemed to really love the school and Lexington. I got a call the next week letting me know I was in! I am almost 100% sure this is where I will be next year.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How have you improved since last year? (Reapplicant)
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing too interesting.. just a basic conversation. No hard ethical/healthcare questions.
How did you prepare for the interview?
This site, my application essays, UK website
What was the most difficult question?
If you're so interested in Kentucky (the state) why UK and not U of L? I had done no research on U of L so this was kinda hard, but I just told her what UK programs I really liked and that seemed to be enough. I think if you're out of state or in state you should be prepared to answer this one.
What impressed you positively?
The students all seemed to love where they were. There also seems to be a lot of chances to get involved with the community.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing. But the admissions office is a little hard to find... kinda behind the medical center. Look for it the night before so you don't get stressed the day of.
