What was the most interesting question?

What was the most difficult question?

Three patients arrive to your care needing a liver transplant. One is a 15 year old girl (with some crazy sounding disease), another is a 35 year old alcoholic, and the other is a 75 year old woman.

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my AMCAS and secondary apps, SDN, and studied up on recent events

What impressed you positively?

My interviewers were extremely laid back and the students seemed to love life at KU Med.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that tuition is expected to go up 20% each year for the next X amount of years (as in they don't know when it will stabilize), and the financial aid and "meet the deans" talked seemed rushed and boring

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Overall my experience at my KU-med interview was a good one, mainly because of the quality of conversation that I had with each of my interviewer. Although I was asked some ethical questions and the "why medicine question", those types of questions constituted a minimal amount of each interview.....both of my interviews were very conversational. The stress level was minimal, and the KU faculty and students that I met where extremely kind and very supportive of their school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
