What are your general comments?

"It was great! I had heard great things about the school and I wasn't disappointed. The Dean of Admissions started the day, he said that about 90% of the people who get an interview get accepted, and the interviews are more to make sure the school and student are a good fit. Plus, they're SUPER laid back, so don't stress it. My interviewers were extremely nice and accomodating, but they asked some tough questions, but they're more just trying to see how you handle yourself than they are grading your answers. Also, for some reason my interview lasted over an hour, whereas most of the interviews took between 20-30 min. We just had a lot to talk about, I guess? The facilities are super nice and new, and they have some good expansion plans over the next 5 years. I read a lot about how the school was in a ''bad area'' so I was expecting it to be totally ghetto, but it wasn't. I didn't think it was bad at all, but Kansas City is just an older city with an ever so slight ''run down'' feel that's pretty common throughout most big midwestern cities. I felt totally safe at and around the campus. Besides, they have TONS of sites around the country to spend your 3rd and 4th year if you don't want to stay in Kansas City, which is a HUGE plus with this school because you can go live and work in the area where you want to get your residency, which can be a big plus in getting your top choice.
