How did you prepare for the interview?

I really didn't prepare for this one

What impressed you positively?

I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed this interview. The doctors that interviewed me were both extremely animated and compassionate people. They were both really interested in who I was and what makes me tick as a person. It felt pretty good also to have them tell me they hoped I would come to IU! It was very nice to feel that they were trying to sell me on the school.

What impressed you negatively?

I don't like the fact that you can be assigned to one of the eight regional campuses. If I go there, I only want to be in Indianapolis.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that it would be me and two interviewers at the same time... but this didn't faze me.

What are your general comments?

I didn't go through the whole "interview day" since I am an IU student (although I go to school in Bloomington), so I just came up for the actual interview. Coming into it, I wasn't too excited... this is my state school, and I know that all it takes is a 22 on the MCAT and in-state status to qualify for an interview. But the guys who interviewed me were fantastic! I just found out a couple of days ago that I got into IU, and I've accepted my spot (to hold the place), but I am not sure if I will go.
