No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over my AMCAS, transcript, IUSM's website, and SDN interview feedback

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers seemed friendly and genuinely interested in what I had to say. We had lunch with three med students if different years, and we could ask them anything about IU, med school, life as a medical student, residencies, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guide was somewhat unprofessional and didn't tell us much about the school itself, just lifestyle things.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was a long day, including interview, walking tour, lunch, financial aid session, meeting with the dean, and LOTS of waiting around time.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a great experience. My interview was my first destination of the morning, which was definitely a good thing. By the end of the day, you will probably be exhausted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
