How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, read KCUMB's website, researched and thought about healthcare and ethical issues, and asked my student host about her experience.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everyone seems very supportive and nice, the campus actually feels like a little campus, the facilities are all very new, the faculty and staff seem to make students their number one priority, and I like the integrated curriculum.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The neighborhood around the school isn't the greatest (but you can say that about a lot of schools), and I'm not sure how I feel about having to leave KC for rotations (there are good and bad things about it).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The worst part was waiting in the "student lounge" to get interviewed, because that's when the nerves had time to build up.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, a very good experience, especially for my first interview. I recommend staying with a student because you can ask tons of questions the night before, stay in the apartment building located across the street from campus, and get an idea of what KCUMB is really like.
