How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing, this one I just went in comfortable and relaxed and it all worked out great!

What impressed you positively?

Clinic and faculty and cost of living is really really cheap!

What impressed you negatively?

Sim clinic and the student giving the tour didnt seem too thrilled with the school. It could have been her personality but she seemed to have some issues with the school but overall she said she liked it there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That 3 people would be interviewing you at once! Little nerve-wrecking at first but worked out just fine!

What are your general comments?

Pretty good school, I feel Indiana kind of gets a bad rep but overall I kind of liked the school, more so then I thought I would going in. The student giving me the tour didnt seem to like PBL but its only about 30% of your curriculum unlike a couple of schools that have 100% PBL. The cost of living there is really cheap, which is great but cost to go to the school for an out-of-state resident is a little high for what you actually get. The facilities are a little older but they do have some newer clinics. Research opportunities seem plentiful and the actual clinical experience you get seems to be really good. Dr. Kasberg also was really friendly and made you feel welcome.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Great length of interview session and you still were able to accomplish everything that most schools
