How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Practiced interview questions, talked with med student I stayed with the night before.

What impressed you positively?

How close the students and their spouses were. There seemed to be a strong support group. The possibility to do clinical rotations at a myriad of high quality teaching hospitals.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities weren't optimal, yet they had just finished a new building that will be very nice for the new class.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I'm glad I stayed with a student. I'd recommend that to anyone.

What are your general comments?

I love staying with a student and being able to pick his brain all night. He answered so many of my questions that I went into my interview feeling as though I already knew the school so well. The interviews themselves were laid back. It was a typical interview day. I slept in the Airport the night of the interview in Kansas City. I decided to go into town with my extra time in KC the night before I left. As luck would have it, a guy came into the sports bar where I was eating and offered me a Billy Joel ticket for the concert across the street. I had a blast with thousands of 40 somethings trying to dance. All-in-all I loved Kirksville, I felt at home there.
