What are your general comments?

Interviewing at KCOM was honestly a really great experience. The interviewers and admissions staff were all really nice and friendly. It wasn't set up to be a formal interview -- more like conversation, with AMPLE time to ask the interviewers questions. Definitely come prepared with lots of questions to ask them!
