How did you prepare for the interview?

I studied the IUSM Core Values and Guiding Principles. This is a big focus of the school. IU is really emphasizing professionalism. Most everyone I spoke to had something related to this theme.

What impressed you positively?

The students were friendly and very realistic. They were positive about the school and gave honest and helpful advice. Dr. Beckman was friendly, professional, and interested in me as a person. I really feel that he is an advocate for his prospective students.

What impressed you negatively?

Lunch was a bit cramped in some small rooms. Yes, it was intimate, but with a dozen nervous people wearing suits in a small cramped room on a hot day... well.. youget the idea...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt very prepared. I don't think that there was anything that surprised me.

What are your general comments?

It was very positive. The resources for the school are amazing. The Indy campus has everything you would ever want. The professors I spoke to were enthusiastic and the support staff was friendly. I would love to go to this school.
