What are your general comments?
All in all it was a great interview experience....my first interview and I could not have asked for a better begining of the interview season. I did not have time to go around Indianapolis but did look at the facilities and hospital. Their revised curriculm is great. The interview was pretty laid back and was mostly conversational. We were laughing and the whole situation was pretty light... get-to-know-you kind of stuff.....One interviewer was more interested in how I came to the decision of going into medicine and the other one asked mostly ethical questions and hobbies. We talked about a lot of topics from hobbies to sports i play to what schools I have been to (have been to a lot of schools)....
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
You are a medical student, and you notice that someone besides you has pulled out a shhet of paper and copying from it.....what would you do?
How did you prepare for the interview?
This site, went over other standard questions, and extensively searched Indiana website.....They were pretty impressed with the "in-depth" questions I was asking about curriculum and school.
What was the most difficult question?
None really...we started off with ...."So what brings you here"....I am out-of-state so I knew this question was coming.....next was as usual "Why medicine and why now" ... I am non-traditional so I knew that would be asked too....
What impressed you positively?
Very laid back atmosphere, nine campuses to choose from.
What impressed you negatively?
Not very many students to talk to and the ones I talked to seemed indifferent about the school....
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They give no type of in-state support to out-of-staters. Unlike most places you cannot apply for Indiana residency even after stayig 1 year over there.....you have to move one year prior to the admission to claim in-state.
