💬 Interview Questions
What was the most interesting question?
The interviewers seened bored. The whole conversation was more like a drill session. Question 1., Question 2. etc....''Why do you want to be a doctor, why Kansas City, tell us about what college is like for you.''Blah, blah, blah...
What was the most difficult question?
A basic ethical question...(don't want to be too specific, I was told the school warns students not to post negative feedback.

How did you prepare for the interview?
On-line review of material. I found out the President of the school is a lawyer who makes close to a million per year. Her actual pay is $948 K per year. No wonder why the tuition increase every year.
What impressed you positively?
The students did not seem too stressed out.
What impressed you negatively?
The library was very small, the lunch room was a pit. It is only open at lunch Monday-Friday. The menu was very unhealthy, just lots of bugers and fries...uhhh!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The Genesis Model of medical education is more of a marketing ploy then a real affective tool for learning medicine. When I returned and discused my visit with my University Advisor, he encouraged me to look elsewhere. He said, ''if Genesis is so good, why don't other schools use it?'' This made me look at this school a second time.
What are your general comments?
The school was okay. You will receive a big sales pitch. They are really into PR stuff. Overall, it appeared like more of a business then a real medical school.The classes are growing each year so the tuition can support the building projects...which they tell you about all day.
