How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, practiced common questions, studied up on PBL. Bought a suit.

What impressed you positively?

everyone's friendliness...Dr. Kasberg's frankness and admittance of IU problems.

What impressed you negatively?

old facilities...and cost is outrageous for out-of-staters.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really

What are your general comments?

Overall experience was good. The interview was relaxed. IU is expensive for out-of-staters and facilities are old. Seems like a good school....but for the price? Also, I found Indianapolis a little depressing of a city, though it does have a small town feel to it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
