What was the most difficult question?

"I didn't think any were difficult. It's not hard to talk about yourself. The interviewers really wanted to get to know me. I can tell that Kirksville is dedicated to find students that will fit in at KCOM. I haven't interviewed at a school yet (besides KCOM) that spends so much time conducting the interviews. Two one-hour interviews are an excellent way to get to know somebody compared to one 30 minute interview." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"Everything! I hope to attend the school if accepted. I find out next Wednesday. One thing in particular is the depth that they go into anatomy. First-year students have anatomy courses from August to June (or July?) of the next year. Anatomy I think is very important, and so this philosophy fits me well. Students come first at KCOM."
