The admissions team wants to know which considerations you put in before sending your application to Kansas City University's College of Osteopathic Medicine. The interviewers do not want to hear that you randomly sent out a million applications, hoping something would stick. Talk to the admissions team about the careful consideration you put into your KCU-COM application.
Some methods of consideration could have been:
- Talking to/interviewing KCU-COM alumni
- Attending an open house at KCU
- Extensive online research
- Researching notable KCU-COM graduates
- Meeting with a career counselor and asking for recommendations
- Speaking with a current student at Kansas City University, specifically someone in your program of interest

"I started by researching Kansas City University's values and how the setup of the COM program. Then, I talked to KCU-COM alumni to find out what they enjoyed most about the program. I also asked them if there were any notable areas for improvement. What stood out to me is that KCU's vision is to be student-centered so that its graduates will be patient-centered. It's important to me that my education is from a notable school. Knowing that KCU is one of the original osteopathic medical schools in the United States makes me confident that I would receive unmatched education here. I was pleased to discover that KCU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and that the College of Osteopathic Medicine is accredited by the AOA."
