What impressed you positively?
The facilities were beautiful and well equipt. The student giving the tour was very excited about IUSM.
What impressed you negatively?
The immaturity level of the students at the lunch was astounding. They directed us to go around the room identifying our favorite body part; one med student said ''inner thigh''. Highly inappropriate.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Bring a book because there is so much downtime.
What are your general comments?
IUSM was top of my list before and after the interview. I didn't let a couple of immature students cloud a good experience, but I would suggest that the admissions committee talk to all the students about properly representing their school in this forum.
