👍 This is correct. I will be there on the first day and I'll post my thoughts when I get home that evening (after a 2.5 hour drive back to Iowa).

Yay! I have two interviews this week and then Kirksville is my next one. Are you staying in a hotel? I think I'm just going to get up early and drive down that morning.
That's awesome good luck with your interviews! Yeah, I am staying at the Holiday Inn on Sunday night. I don't want to feel rushed the morning of the interview or have to drive three hours in a suit haha. I would have to leave around 4 or 4:30 in order to get there on time...a hotel sounds much more appealing!
I haven't been home yet! I will see but I am sure that will be the case...

Same here. I even called the admissions office to see if something was up with my SOMA app, but they told me my app is still under review and that the school is "swamped" with apps ATM.

When I check my status on the secondary website, it says my secondary, where it says, "the following items have/have not been received." It lists a received date for all of them. I have been assuming that that means I'm complete, and that my app is being reviewed. Am I right in that assumption?
😱 This is surprising considering you are an above average applicant. Don't lose hope, your stats would get you in somewhere.
I already have 4 interviews set up, so I'm not terribly concerned. Being from Missouri, however, and having attended undergrad in Kirksville, is what makes it a bit sad. Though (and I think I mentioned it before), I have been told that KCOM is VERY particular about whom they interview/admit in ways that are not always what you would expect.
How so?

Damn dude that is rough. Could have possibly been weak LOR, personal statement, or secondary answers. Your numbers and EC's def don't seem to be the problem.

Just got one too. Set for thursday 11/29
just a little tip for those with recent iis. If you want an earlier date, keep checking the calendar regularly as dates open up quite frequently. I moved mine from November 8 to Oct 4. Also, the admissions lady told me that you are only allowed one reschedule per cycle.

I already rescheduled 🙁. I set it to Nov. 1 and then realized it was the day after halloween. Can't miss halloween in NYC! So moved it back to nov. 30.

It's basically like an IHOP or Denny's. There is also a bunch of mexican and chinese restaurants here, and a Colton's Steakhouse and Ruby Tuesdays.
I am a bit confused after reading the interview feedback section on this school. Are there really 2 separate 1 hour interview sessions for each applicant? Unfortunately, Most questions on that page start from 2010, and I was really hoping to read questions from past cycle.
Can I make a request with those of you who are interviewing before Oct 4 to post about your interview experience/questions asked. I promise to do the same once I am done with mine to help future interviewees.

I think it is actually two separate 30-45 minute interviews and then another 20-30 minute interview...so a total of three one-on-one interviews.
Haha yeah I'm serious. Look at the bright side though, if you don't click with one of the interviewers you still have two others to totally redeem yourself! And you get to meet more people!
Also the two longer ones are with faculty professors and physicians I believe while the shorter one is with the admissions staff...not positive, but I am pretty sure that is correct

This is true. But, not only are the interviews very conversational, but you will get an information card with your interviewers names, job description, and extracurricular interests in your interview packet. Look over this to see if you can relate to them in some way and you can direct your conversation toward your similar interests.
It is three interviews, but if all goes well, they go by very fast. Plus, it gives you three opportunities to impress people.
The only question I was asked from the interview feedback section was "why DO/osteopathic medicine". I would also have answers for the standard interview questions (e.g. why should we pick you). The rest of my interviews were about my application and conversations about fishing, hunting, my hometown, etc.
Thanks for the advice! Do you receive the interview packets the day of your interview or are they mailed to you?
