How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my application/essays, SDN, school website.

What impressed you positively?

The atmosphere of the school is friendly and supportive to both students and their families. The facilities are awesome. The match list and board pass rates are really impressive. There are lots of locations for the clinical years.

What impressed you negatively?

It is difficult to quickly get to Kirksville. The airport is small and flights get canceled. The other major airports are a few hours drive away.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

All the positives about the school.

What are your general comments?

I would have to say that the interviews at KCOM were a bit different than any others I have experienced. It was very conversational, but almost to the point where it threw me off a bit. All interviews usually begin with small talk, but at KCOM it seemed that it never developed into something more serious in nature. This would have been totally fine if I had been expecting it, but it felt as if I kept waiting for the interview to begin. So my advice is to just relax, roll with it, and have a good time. There is really not much need for a serious interview, as most of that stuff is covered in the application.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing. Very friendly and responsive.
