How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, KCOM website, school's career center, Norman Gevitz's "DO's: .....", mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

The school really went out of their way to make us feel at home and at ease. It was obvious that they live by their motto: "Happy students succeed." Also, the admissions staff voluteer as mock patients for physicals, exams, etc. They have a lot of trust in the students they admit.

What impressed you negatively?

One interviewer kept asking me about my childhood. I guess he wanted to see how I have changed (?) I was somewhat defensive towards him too because he kept taking what I would say and substituting his own words, which completely changed the meaning of my answers!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. The SDN site pretty much tells all.

What are your general comments?

Despite the bad interviewer luck, I really, really, really liked this school. It's my number 1 pick now, and I found out that I got accepted a few days ago (YEAH!). They call you which is really nice. The coolest thing about this school was that the AMA visited them a couple years back to find out why their students perform better than most MD students on the USMLE...also, the anatomy dept. is in the top 1% of all med schools and the director of the anatomy dept. actually writes questions for the USMLE. Cool, eh?!
