How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN feedback, my personal statement, and secondary essays. Talked to current med students at KU. Read over all of my notes from last year (I'm a reapplicant).

What impressed you positively?

The people are VERY friendly. The whole day was extremely laid-back. The students I talked to really seemed to love the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really...it was my second time interviewing there so I knew how it was going to go.

What are your general comments?

Two 30-minute interviews...the first one is open file and one-on-one. Mine was with a PhD. This is the person that will actually be presenting your file to the Selections Committee. The second interview is closed file with two people. I had a 4th year med student and another PhD.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing...they were great and very informative!
