How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application, read sdn feedback, and looked over the school's website

What impressed you positively?

Everyone I talked to seemed really nice. I like the hospitals, especially Riley, and how close they are to campus. I liked that they focus on the human aspect of medicine...I don't think the competencies will actually teach people to be compassionate, but it's nice to know that they think it's important.

What impressed you negatively?

Most of the questions were asked by the same interviewer; the other one typed everything we said. And I had a wee bit of trouble finding the room I was interviewing in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I've heard most interviews at IU are pretty conversational. Mine definitely wasn't, but they were still friendly and made me feel comfortable.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
