The school is very nice, and the education that you will receive there is excellent. However, the fact that it is in a rougher part of town makes it less attractive to some applicants. Kansas City has a lot to do when you have free time; take advantage of opportunities to have fun and stay sane. 3rd year rotations can be done almost anywhere in the country; I'm in Wichita, KS but have friends who went to Florida, Pennsylvania, etc. You also have the option of staying in KC (which is mandatory if you're doing the duel MBA/DO program). Although you do get experience w/histories and physical exams on standardized patients, I was a little disappointed that we didn't have more time in clinics/hospitals scheduled into our curriculum. My class spent a 1/2 day in a clinic and that was it. It is possible that this has changed, and there are ample opportunities to get more patient encounters in your free time. Overall, I am very pleased w/the education (you will know your pathology!) I received in my first two years. 😀
I'm sure other KCUMBers can add more to this. You should also check out the interview feedback on SDN for previous applicants thoughts on the school. Good luck!
