What impressed you positively?

Very well organized day. The admissions staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They personally escorted us to each interview and even came to escort us back when the interview was over. Students were all very nice and seemed happy to be helping us. The OMT demonstration was also very nice. They even took us to see the anatomy lab.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. The town is a bit isolated and small, but thats fine with me.

What are your general comments?

The school is great. The interviews were not nearly as stressful as I was expecting them to be. Most of the time I felt like they were just trying to get to know me. However, the D.O. that interviewed me was only trying to test my ability to answer questions under pressure. All of the questions asked were pretty standard. Why D.O? Why KCOM? Why do you want to go into medicine? Do you think you can handle medical school?

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
