What impressed you positively?

Facilities

What impressed you negatively?

The students seemed like they were just trying to sell med school instead of selling IU. They kept telling us how they never have to go to class, which I guess was supposed to impress us.

What are your general comments?

The interview felt very rushed, probably because I was the last one of the day. Every time we started to get into a conversation outside of the questions, one of the interviewers would cut it off. The questions themselves weren't hard, except that I didn't know exact numbers for high school information (class rank, class size, SAT score). Why high school stuff matters anyway, I have no idea. All of the questions are exactly the same as those listed on SDN (they've been the same questions for like three years).
