What impressed you positively?
The students that gave us the tour had a lot of positive things to say about the school. One of the guys on the tour had a twin brother going to the allopathic medical school and he pointed out many more advantages for KCUMB than KU. They are also building two new buildings at the school and one is supposed to be ready in August 2006.
What impressed you negatively?
I thought it was odd that they showed us the apartments across the street during the tour (but I'm glad they did).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing
What are your general comments?
The interview started out at the alumni center where they showed us a presentation about the school and asked questions about osteopathy. Make sure and brush up on the history of A.T. Still and osteopathic medicine. After that, we had a question and answer with 4 med students. Then we broke off into two groups and they took us on a tour. Everything is in about 4 buildings. The anatomy lab is on the bottom floor but doesn't really smell. After that, you have lunch in a small cafeteria with not very good food. Then you sit and wait in the student lounge for your interview. I was out of the interview (as most interviewees were) by about 2:30pm.
