No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read their website, looked at my AMCAS application, talked to a friend who's a first year there to get advice, and watched the IU competencies video online (make sure you mention that you know these!!!)

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really friendly. The tour guides were enthusiastic. Their facilities are great. They had a record-high USMLE pass rate for this past year's second year students. They just got streaming video to re-watch lectures online.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer was 20 minutes late.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They have 9 different campuses you can be at the first 2 years and I didn't realize they were all so different.

What are your general comments?

I was really impressed. The day lasted from 8:30-2 and it was not stressful at all. I had my interview the first thing in the morning and everything else was smooth sailing. IU has a lot of great stuff to offer!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
