It was very friendly and relaxed. They just wanted to get to know me. The administration was very nice and seemed interested in us being impressed by them as much as vice versa.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
No questions, really -- just very nice, laid-back conversations.
How did you prepare for the interview?
read SDN feedback, read UK's online bulletin, practiced answers to some questions
What was the most difficult question?
What are your hobbies? (I blanked on this for some reason.)
What impressed you positively?
UK has a great, innovative curriculum that seems to allow students a decent amount of free time. The students seem very happy and cooperative. The curriculum has a lot of emphasis on respecting and understanding and listening to patients. The rural care program is great. It seems like the administration is very responsive to students and very flexible with allowing students to do things they're interested in.
What impressed you negatively?
The cadaver lab only holds half the med students, so it's 6 students to a cadaver, split into two groups of 3 who alternate, each doing half the dissection. I'm also not a big fan of Lexington, which has pretty bad traffic and parking and not much to do if you've outgrown the bar scene but aren't married and raising kids.
