How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I reread my AMCAS application, read possible interview questions, and feedback from this site.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very friendly, not intimidating at all...they seemed like they really wanted me to succeed.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing that I can think of.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had some difficulty getting from the parking garage to the area of registration, so it would have been nice if I had a map or something a little clearer.

What are your general comments?

I felt like the interview went really well. It was mostly just a conversation wanting to get to know me...no trick questions, etc. The first was open-file and focused more on my grades. The next was closed-file and I enjoyed it a lot more. Both interviewers were doctors who are faculty at KU Med. The second interview typically has two people, but one of the interviewers wasn't able to make it. Everyone seemed very helpful, informative, and I enjoyed the day overall.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
