No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, amcas, talking to people that interviewed here earlier in the year, going over ethical and global health issues

What impressed you positively?

everyone was pretty friendly and atmosphere was super low stress

What impressed you negatively?

they ran out of veggie lunches (apparently for the first time in history) - they should have made sure that vegetarians got first pick or had some way for us to notify them beforehand of our dietary restriction or let us know that this might happen and to bring food - also, the city is tiny and seemed totally deserted even during their so-called ''morning rush hour'' - it was pretty depressing - also, the lack of diversity but that was expected given that indiana is not exactly a diverse state

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that they might run out of veggie lunches - i would have brought my own food if i knew

What are your general comments?

also, apparently the student hotel rates are only available for a super short time, i booked my room just a week after getting the email for an interview, and i didn't get the reduced price

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
