Report Response | I was asked this too

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 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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.
