1 out of 10

What are your general comments?
Everything was great. The facilities are impressive and of course the research is superb. I wish we had the interview in the morning, but they set it up so that it is the last event of the day. Mine was at 2pm and last an hour and a half (I got along really well with my interviewer). I was worrying about the interview the entire time, but it was so informal and not stressful at all. But then again, I could have just been very lucky.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
It was a very specific question based on my application involving my abroad experiences
How did you prepare for the interview?
UMKC website (mainly their mission statement and goals), SDN interview feedback questions, going over my application
What impressed you positively?
The way their clinic is set up, they are one of the only schools that operates on the "team" sytem vs. departmental. It's very effective. Also the caliber of research they have there.
What impressed you negatively?
Neighborhood is not so good, but the students insisted it was nothing to worry about.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It is an incredibly laid-back interview, nothing to worry about. Also, I wish I had known that they only accept one person from my state of residence (not Missouri). I didn't know my chances were so slim . ..
