How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Not much at all. It wasnt my first one so I wasnt as nervous as I had been in the past. All I did really was spend a couple hours the night before reading all of the questions that they typically ask, right off of this website. So dont fret too much, just relax, take a deep breath, lay on ur be or kick up on the couch and just read all the questions that people have posted, there were alot of repeats. And if you do that you'll do great.

What impressed you positively?

All three interviewers were very warm, and although three hours seems daunting, it goes by super quick and you might actually wind up enjoying the conversations you're having. The time was what I was most concerned about, but I wound up not noticing it at all.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. The facilities were nice, people were nice, interview was nice. If you get an interview here just relax and calm down.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I Knew everything I needed to know because I read up on all the do's and donts from this website. However there are a few suggestions I could make for those traveling from a long distance. The comfort INN was a great hotel, I would def recommend it. And I would Def advise people to fly in to kirksville on that litte tiny plane that they offer, it only takes 1 hour, its probably cheaper then gas, and it was completely safe and not scary at all.

What are your general comments?

This was a great school, and a very relaxed envirionment. Just be yourself, calm down, and to prepare just read over what everyonelse has said.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
