Read SDN, made sure to read through and be able to refer to part of my primary and secondary essays, looked on their website to know about the school, talked with students I know that go there.

What impressed you positively?

The students seem really happy. They all like their teachers, they like the curriculum set up (it's module based - not semester long classes or problem based). They also seemed to really enjoy the services provided to them by the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Doesn't seem to be much diversity within the medical student population.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

After getting an interview request, a few days later an email was sent out with names with contact info for students from the school to stay with - I had already arranged plans with a friend to stay with, but wish I had known that this really nice gesture would be provided.

What are your general comments?

The school seems really great. For the first two years, all the students are located on the Kansas City campus. During third and fourth year students get to pick whether or not they want to stay in KC or move to Wichita. Seems like the students are really happy. They get awesome opportunities to work in the community, and to go abroad. A great focus on cross-cultural understanding.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No suggestions to the admissions office. They were very nice, and responsive to any requests of mine. They also were very good to detail all the information of the interview date (schedule, parking, location, etc). It made it very easy to plan for the day and to know how long to expect to stay.
