How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN. Practiced standard interview questions. Read over my primary and secondary applications/essays.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very welcoming. Interview was really laid back and it seemed like the interviewers were on my side the entire time. The new facility and OMM lab is very impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. Some will complain that the town is small, which it is, but the education that you receive should always be the most important factor in your decision.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How awesome the burgers at the Dukum Inn would be. I'm not really sure why they were so good, but it's something that you must try. Go there the evening before the interview and have some food.

What are your general comments?

KCOM is a great school with a great staff. I was very impressed with everything. Be prepared for a rather long day and don't be worried about how long the interviews are--they go by VERY quickly and are extremely laid back and conversational.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Admissions office is great! Very fast responses and extremely helpful.
