hey future jay-doc's,
The interview day at KU is pretty laid back, although a bit long. Last year, there were two interview groups per interview day, meaning that one group began the day pretty early (8:00 AM, i think), while the other group showed up at like 11:00 or so. I was in the early group, so our day started out w/ the typical donuts/coffee and introduction with the dean of admissions who gave the details of the day (including when your 2 interviews are). Right afterwards, the interviews began for us. For us, there were 2 interviews.....a 1-on-1 and then a 2-1. The 2-1 interview, as you've probably read on the interview feedback, is usually with a faculty member and a 4th year student.....the 1-1 on is with a faculty member who will eventually present you to the board of admissions (the other interviewers won't present you, but they'll provide the main interviewer notes, etc). So, once the morning crew ends their interviews, the other interview group will come around (at 11 ish), and then both groups get presentations about financial aid, curriculum, yadda yadda yadda. Next comes lunch (the best part of the day of course), and then the afternoon group begins their interviews.........while they interview, the morning group will have a campus tour (optional), followed by some other stuff (like student panels or something......i don't know b/c I skipped out).
So, as you can see, it is a rather long day. None the less, its a very laid back process.....my main suggestion to you all is to talk to your fellow applicants while you wait. That time can be kinda stressful (especially if this is your first interview), so yappin' it up with your future colleagues will help chill you out.
If you guys have any questions about life at KU med, feel free to send me a PM. By the way, I'll be around for some of the interview days, so there's a good chance you'll see me mooching off the free food and getting us all lost on the tours.
