How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?
The students/staff seemed to genuinely care about the students. They are really concerned with keeping their students and making sure that each student is successful.
What impressed you negatively?
Probably one of the worst things about KCUMB is the location...it's not really the safest part of the town. Also, the school isn't very technologically advanced...no wireless internet and students rarely bring laptops to class.
What are your general comments?
We all met in the alumni building on campus about 9:00 in the morning. After being given a pretty lengthy summary about osteopathic medicine, we then had the opportunity to speak with students from the university. Then we were given a tour that lasted forever...but it was nice all of the facilities; it makes me think that the other schools are being shady for not showing us everything that KCUMB did...hmmm. Anyway, after the tour we had lunch and then waited in the student lounge for our interviews. I intervied with the student counselor and the Microbiology/Parisitology teacher at the university. The interview was really laid back and was a piece of cake.
