What impressed you positively?

The Indianapolis campus is affiliated with many impressive hospitals, giving great teaching potential. The students seem happy at IU and indicated that there is a cooperative atmosphere. The professor I interviewed with was very impressive. It was not stressful, but rather conversational.

What impressed you negatively?

On interview day, there were many applicants (50+), so the day was not as personal as at other schools. The student that I ate lunch with admitted that she was accepted at IU after being denied the previous 2 years, and the student giving the tour said she does not attend class often. These didn't seem like great representatives.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Leave time to find the parking garage as parking on campus is very limited.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the day was relatively low-stress considering it was my first interview. The interview was laid back. I feel the interviewer really got an idea of who I am and what drives me to medicine. I was impressed with IU and its facilities.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
