💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

About my research experience.
About volunteer experience, and work experience.
Why I decided to no longer attend PT school and become a physician?

What was the most interesting question?

How would a D.O. treat a patient compared to an M.D.?

What was the most difficult question?

I didn't think any were difficult. It's not hard to talk about yourself. The interviewers really wanted to get to know me. I can tell that Kirksville is dedicated to find students that will fit in at KCOM. I haven't interviewed at a school yet (besides KCOM) that spends so much time conducting the interviews. Two one-hour interviews are an excellent way to get to know somebody compared to one 30 minute interview.

KCOM website, primary application, and secondary application

What impressed you positively?

Everything! I hope to attend the school if accepted. I find out next Wednesday. One thing in particular is the depth that they go into anatomy. First-year students have anatomy courses from August to June (or July?) of the next year. Anatomy I think is very important, and so this philosophy fits me well. Students come first at KCOM.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing! I've noticed that some people feel negative about the size of the town. I personally don't like living in larger towns and think Kirksville is the perfect size.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really

What are your general comments?

Super! Anyone interested in Osteopathic Medicine needs to check at KCOM. It's my favorite school so far.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
