How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, IUSM Website extensively, talked to current students, prepred questions to ask, watched the news, read two books, and focused on being out going.

What impressed you positively?

The professionalism and confidence of the faculty. The size of the campus and the facilities were also outstanding.

What impressed you negatively?

The attitude of some of the students that lead the discussion groups over lunch were not the greatest.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was pretty prepared. I went a day early to check things out and to make sure I was in the right place. They admissions office had to change my interview time and location due to grand rounds. Nothing was too surprising. I would suggest leaving your info packet in the lobby when you go on the tour. If you feel you need a notepad, which you don't, use a pocketsized one so that you can use both hands taking your coat on and off.

What are your general comments?

The day was incredibly good. Everything went smooth. IUSM is an amazing place.
