I am wondering which schools have blind interviews and which are open file. I know that Touro-MI is open file and AZCOM/CCOM only have resume and essays (no gpa or mcat). What about KCOM and others?

KCOM is completely open file. My interviewer read stuff highlighted in my LOR that I had no idea about. It was good stuff at least, but he had my huge file right there in front of him.
 
KCUMB is open file. Look up the school you are interested in via the interview feedback option. Most people list the information their interviewers were provided with.
