What are your general comments?
Seems like a great school with a great program. Don't stress out at all if you're interviewing here, just be honest and be yourself. The day can kinda drag especially when all you can think about is the upcoming interview which happens at the very end, very anti-climactic. I got the feeling from the very minute I walked in that all of us were going to be accepted so long as we didn't seem crazy during the interview.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What is it about KCUMB will help me get into rural medicine?
What was the most interesting question?
The whole interview was really more conversational than question based, they seemed to be playing good cop/bad cop, and the bad cop always wanted me to elaborate on my answers
How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked over application, SDN, mock interview and researched school. Honestly, didn't put much time into preparation, probably should've done more.

What impressed you positively?
The campus is gorgeous, very low key, low stress interview day. Students and faculty seemed very happy to be there and not that stressed out. Seemed like the minute you get there they are trying to get you to come there, not the other way around.
What impressed you negatively?
