How did you prepare for the interview?

Researching the school.

What impressed you positively?

The bars and social life at IU.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewers and the school's building/clinic. One interviewer didn't talk at all, and the other seemed like he was out to get me. Also, the clinic seemed empty; I don't see how you get a good clinical education there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I was very disappointed with my visit. Beyond what was already mentioned, the interview day was not set-up well at all. After every part of the day, the other applicants and I were left alone just waiting for someone to come get us. Instead of organizing the day in such a manner that it would be a good use of both their time and ours, instead I spent half the day sitting awkwardly in one lobby or another. On a positive note, they did treat us to an excellent lunch.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
