No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on ethical topics, my AMCAS application, current medical topics like stem cell research, medicare, managed care, etc.

What impressed you positively?

The politness of the staff and the facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

They didn't give us anything to do -- you just sit in a room looking at each other the entire morning!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

One interview has two interviewers, which is closed file and the other interview is a one-on-one, and that is open file.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a stressful but good interview. I found out about my interview just two days before due to an email error, so I would have felt more together, prepared and less stressed if I would have known about it sooner. So, if anybody out there has applied to KU and has not heard back, I recommend you call because they communicate through email and it's possible you didn't get it.
