What are your general comments?
The interview was great, and I was really impressed with the school. I have always gone to DO doctors, so I knew that I wanted to attend a DO school, but I was worried that other people were only appling there because they could not get into a MD program (as some of the MD doctors I know implied). What I found was a group of great students who were really enthusiastic about becoming caring and compassionate physicians. I found out that I was accepted a week after my interview, and am pretty sure that I will be attending this school.
The facilities were great, the anatomy lab and OMT lab have video for students to see what is going on. Everyone was friendly and sincere.

What was the most difficult question?
They asked if I had applied to both MD and DO schools, and whether I would go to a DO school even if I was accepted at an md school.
What impressed you positively?
The facilities are excellent, beautiful campus, great apartments across the street, and really GREAT people. At this school, I met a ton of people that were looking forward to being doctors and treating patients. I don't get that feeling from all my pre-MD friends.
What impressed you negatively?
Kansas City was a pretty nice city, but I don't feel like the campus was in the greatest part of the city. The cafeteria was kind of small, and did not have the greatest food.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How low stress it actually was! I had a lot of fun.
