✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practicing with a researcher and also a friend. Studying current events--especially healthcare in Kansas.

What impressed you positively?

Opportunity to meet current students, other interviewees, and staff

What impressed you negatively?

Lots of waiting/dead time. Both interviews only had one faculty member. The tour included a lot of time outdoors on a 90-degree day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That only person would be interviewing me at a time. Also, what their position/title/specialty was.

What are your general comments?

The current student was unsure what to show us on the tour, and the non-faculty physician at my open-file interview seemed uncomfortable with his role. Overall, it seemed a little loose, but not bad.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
