💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why medicine, osteopathy, KCUMB? (all one question)
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing was really interesting. I was asked to name, but not discuss, 3 hot topics facing medicine today. I thought the lack of discussion was weird. Any idiot can name issues.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, school website.
What was the most difficult question?
I was asked what someone might say are my #1 strengths and weaknesses. Also explaining a certain Physics grade on my transcript.
What impressed you positively?
The curriculum is systems-based which is cool, the facilities seem nice and modern, and the patient-simulator lab that will be up and running in August sounded pretty bad-ass. The whole day was laid back.
Proximity to Kansas City.
Parking.
What impressed you negatively?
Campus literally in the middle of f-ing nowhere, with nothing (grocery stores, coffee shops, restaraunts, etc) other than a 7-11 near by. Very very small campus and coming from a big 10 university, I'm not used to that. Relocating in 2 years for clinicals.
The "apartments" across the street from campus are like glorified dorms.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Small campus, with nothing around it but old dillapidated neighborhoods.
