💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

My advice on this is to know yourself and motivations for why you want to become a physician. Since they actually read and remeber your application most of the questions you get (especially from the admission interview) are tailored specifically to you.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went through each aspect of their website: student profiles, research links, etc. This was very rewarding as it gave me a great detail with which to address questions. I also read all the reviews for Kirkesville posted on this website. GO OVER YOUR ACCOMAS AND SECONDARY APPLICATION! for the admissions interview they will hit on all the experiences you listed, so have them fresh in your mind.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

You recieve information cards telling about those who will interview you. Throughout the day everything was handled in a very professional manner and they make it a point to know you as an individual.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, the format for the day is well laid out and everyone from the admissions staff to the students really work hard to make it as easy as possible.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Gear up on medical terminology with regards to clinical rotations - i.e. preceptor.

What are your general comments?

Many of the other reviews give good info about the conversational nature of the interview process. There is a good reason for this - they read your application in advance, allowing for a real conversation (unlike other schools which read it for the first time in front of you). Make sure you bring up the points you wish to hit on if it's just a loose conversation. When I was with the D.O. (you have 3 interviews 1 faculty, 1 clinician, and admissions representative) he read questions from a list for standardization purposes. Mine seemed a little rushed for time but he made sure to answer all of my questions completely.
