How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, IU website, reviewed my AMCAS application

What impressed you positively?

Students were all very nice and outgoing and the facilities were impressive (minus the construction)

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer seemed uninterested (just asked questions straight off the list), then got antagonistic about several parts of my application

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

The interview started out OK, but my interviewer wasn't very friendly (never really smiled or joked at all). He asked questions straight off the page, then got sort of confrontational about several parts of my application (and also blankly stared at me during my responses). He asked me why I indicated myself as disadvantaged (and didn't seem to agree with me). Overall, he just seemed unenthusiastic about me as an applicant and I didn't get the impression that he would represent me well to the admissions committee. I am going to call the admissions office and request another interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
