University of Kentucky

their facilities were state-of-the-art, and all of the staff seemed really passionate about supporting the medical students there.

Emphasis on in-person interviews so you can meet the faculty, tour the facility, and understand the life of a medical student. Very friendly people and a great first interview experience.

UKY is a fantastic school, and the RPLP program is something absolutely wonderful that has already made such a large difference in its short existence. I am very grateful to have interviewed with this school and be able to meet wonderful people along the way.

Due to the standardized nature of the interview questions, it did feel at times that the interview was a bit stiff or restrictive. I wish more allowance for personal/customized questions was allowed.

I was greatly impressed by how kind and welcoming the interview was for the RPLP program. Every person there seemed to have our best interests in mind, and appeared to genuinely wish us well and support us on this journey.

I was under the impression that "two interviews" meant that Applicant A would go first followed by Applicant B, when in reality, it was all ~15 students went into separate rooms with their designated interviewers at the same time. We would then "swap" the interviewers, so basically there are 2 sets of 1/1 interviews by different people

Everyone I spoke to was amiable. The student panel reassured us that the school is a very collaborative one in which people are more than willing to help one another. One of my interviewers was a professor who said she's never had any concerns about a student because of their support network and robust curriculum.

The interview itself goes by faster than you think

it was more relaxed that I thought it would be

most of the lectures are given from the main campus and streamed to the regional campus, so I could see a problem in connecting with your lecturers.

being a regional campus is a small community and it seemed like the staff really cares about their students
