What are your general comments?
The only thing that stands out besides how friendly the people were, was that one of my interviewers asked me about every single point that I wrote on my application. I was so tired by the first half hour bc it had been only me talking the whole time. So that interview wasn't that conversational. But then after about an hour, he asked me if I had any questions for him. I was so relieved to be able to stop talking and gather my breath.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why did you major in XXX when you want to pursue a career in medicine?
What was the most interesting question?
Who is your best friend and why is that person your best friend?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interviews, read SDN, stayed the night before w/ student and met other students who told me to just relax, read up on health-care issues.
What was the most difficult question?
Other than what is on your application, what are some reasons why you should be accepted to KCOM, that I can relay to the admissions committee?
What impressed you positively?
The housing is sooo cheap there and the apts are pretty big. The students are really into becoming the best physicians that they can be and reaching out to others in any way that they can. They are very enthusiastic about medicine. Also, even tho anatomy is studied for three quarters there which is much more than at other DO schools, many students remarked how they were happy with the in-depth education that they were receiving.
What impressed you negatively?
We did not get any brochures or anything to remember the school by. We were supposed to get a bag with the grad class' match list and other stuff, but never received that.
