How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, online material, IU's website, reviewed my personal comments, and a couple mock interviews.

The facilities are certainly great; most of them are quite new, the school is expanding in size. The students that I met there are very enthusiastic about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

For out-of-staters, the school is very expsensive! Otherwise, nothing much- I just felt that I could have used greater interaction with some actual docs there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

Overall, I had a very positive experience. The staff and facilities are this school's strongest points. I felt that the interview experience was fairly well organized, and there was sufficient interaction with students and some staff to have all my questions answered.
