💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What do you think professionalism means?
What was the most interesting question?
What did you do in high school (it's not all that interesting of a question but I didn't know they cared that much what my class rank, GPA and SAT were!!!)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read their website, looked at my AMCAS application, talked to a friend who's a first year there to get advice, and watched the IU competencies video online (make sure you mention that you know these!!!)
What was the most difficult question?
If you saw two students cheating in your first med school exam, what would you do? (And then I was asked with follow-up questions based on my response).
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was really friendly. The tour guides were enthusiastic. Their facilities are great. They had a record-high USMLE pass rate for this past year's second year students. They just got streaming video to re-watch lectures online.
What impressed you negatively?
My interviewer was 20 minutes late.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They have 9 different campuses you can be at the first 2 years and I didn't realize they were all so different.
