What are your general comments?
I thought the campus was great students were happy. The campus is very committed to everyone doing well, passing boards, and getting into their residency of choice. For people that complain about the neighborhood are probably from small towns, because my undergrad visits to Uchicago and Columbia were in way worse areas and I would have never of worried about safety if I had gone to one of those schools, so the same applies to KCUMB
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about a person that made you change the way you think about something that is important to you...
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, mock interview with friend with practice questions. Talk in front of the mirror to examine facial expressions. I knew that the interview format would be a 2 of them one of you format (2-1).
What was the most difficult question?
None of them were difficult, but I was told that I received the luckiest draw as far as the two interviewers go. Apparently one of the other interviewers that I did not have was notorious for asking why questions (why did you do this instead of that in your app) with the sole intent of seeing your response and how you handle the question.
What impressed you positively?
In general the campus is way prettier than I thought. It was a sunny day with temps in the mid 50's in KC after a whole week of rain so I lucked out. But the overall campus has great facilities. I like the dress code, which is scrubs or professional dress, so 99% of students are wearing scrubs. The thing that impressed me the most was the curriculum and testing process. 6 week sections (essentially one subject in six weeks). With two tests (mid term and final) during the six weeks. Each section is systems of the body but incorporates all basic science in a more clinically oriented presentation.
What impressed you negatively?
They have a brand new auditorium but since they are going to be adding a library and student center to it we were unable to see it.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
how pretty the campus actually was.
