💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Asked about my experience abroad, the most challenging part of this experience.
Asked about my hobbies/interests (the unique ones that stood out on my application) to make for friendly conversation.
The standard long, scary one: Why do you want to be a doctor, why do you think KCUMB will help you, and what can you offer to the school/medical community?

What was the most interesting question?

Hobbies/interests

What was the most difficult question?

They caught me off-guard by asking about the other osteopathic schools to which I applied. This information was provided in my file and one of my interviewers asked me if I had already interviewed at any of them. He asked me why I applied to Touro, I shrugged and honestly answered that I applied mostly for the location but was disappointed when I actually visited the campus. Meh.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over in my head and spoke out loud about why I want to be a doctor, what kind of doctor, why DO over MD, what I'm looking for in a med school, why KCUMB, and what I'll be able to contribute with a D.O.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very friendly, and genuinely interested in my previous experiences and why I applied to KCUMB. One of them handed me his card as I was leaving-- I could tell immediately that KCUMB staff are very approachable and supportive. Also the tour of the campus (although small) and Century Towers was very impressive.
