✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

IUSM website, studentdoctor.net, and reviewing my AMCAS application.

What impressed you positively?

All of their hospitals were, literally, on campus. Also, I stayed with a student host and he had nothing but great things to say about the school. Above all, what was really impressive is that you can select which campus you want to attend. IUSM has 1 main campus is Indy, and 8 satellite campuses throughout the state. Each campus constructs their curriculum off the same format, but each campus have differences when teaching the material. In general, Indy campus is more problem-based learning, while South Bend is more group oriented (group base learning).

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the facilities were fairly out-dated. However, they mentioned they will be constructing new classrooms and facilities by 2011.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everything went good. I think I was prepared.

What are your general comments?

I hope I get in. My interview day was amazing and I can really see myself as an Indiana medical student. The medical students, faculty, and admission staff were polite and honest.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
