Why Kansas State?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN!!! And reviewed my application.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The mentorship opportunities and class unity. The hospital was HUGE and it seems like students are always welcome to come help with/watch/learn from cases. The lab was also awesome and the curriculum seemed very structured and organized.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of diverse available programs (i.e. not many international opportunities unless you pursue/set up something yourself through another school or program).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interview day is very short! It consists of your interview and an optional tour.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I expected my interviewers to be very relaxed and friendly based on what I read on SDN. One of my interviewers was awesome, but the other two were not as friendly as I had anticipated (I am not sure if this was intentional or not.... My interview was also at 8 AM). HOWEVER, do not let this intimidate you! It went very well and I was accepted :) They really just want to get to know YOU.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The admissions staff was wonderful, but it would have been nice to have a more structured interview day like other schools.
