Great clinical exposure and a lot of positive student response. Day went very very well and was really relaxed after the interview!

the interview day felt like UMKC was just trying to sell the school to us.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There would be a writing sample. And that 13 out of 70 seats for Missouri applicants are already filled with reserve admissions seats.

What are your general comments?

Awesome interview day. Overall the day went very well and was pretty enjoyable. Alot of 3rd and 4th year student involvement and interaction, which is really great, so have some questions prepared. I'm very excited to hear back from the school about a potential spot.
