Overkill. Read Podiatry Today magazines to familiarize myself with procedures, but they didn't ask about any of that. Also read Qs here on SDN, which is accurately reflective of the interview.
What impressed you positively?
How absolutely friendly everyone was; how much tutoring and assistance they offer; how beautiful the campus and surrounding areas were; how well they set up the itinerary for the interview.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing at all. Great school and great interview process.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That there's nothing to worry about. The tour/walking around campus before the interview helps get the jitters out. Everyone seemed excited to meet with us.
What are your general comments?
Interview day at Kent was a really fun experience. We got to do a suturing workshop afterward, and met with a lot of students. Please do not be like me and stress yourself out beforehand. You will enjoy it. Also, guests are allowed to come.
