How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practice questions, SDN, reading up on IUMed and making sure I know why I truly want to go there.

What impressed you positively?

Very conversational type interview, good campus.

What impressed you negatively?

Some students were left to their own devices to find their way to their interview rooms. I was lucky as my interview was in the main building, but I heard stories of other students getting lost.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewer hadn't read my file before the interview.

What are your general comments?

Interesting interview, not sure how it went to be truly honest. This is the school I want to go to and I am committed to reapplying here if I do not get accepted this cycle. The interview was mostly low stress, but I managed to get myself very nervous.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
