What impressed you negatively?

The medical student who gave the tour put down the University of Kansas's Medical School many times. One comment was that KCUMB students have higher board scores then do KU medical students. Later I looked into this, it is untrue. In fact, KCUMB had 10-15% fail rate on lasts years national medical school boards far worst then KU did. Very unkewl to be lied to.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Three things 1.The interviews are a formality. The process is a joke. No stress. You get an interview, and you are in. 2. This is most peoples safety school. 3. Graduates have difficulties finding good residencies.
