What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Highschool rank and SAT scores (what in the hell's this) It must be a required question because my interviewer seemed embarresed to ask me
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop? ( I went with the owl and said three. Consequently I was labled a follower)
Why didn't I get in to med school last year. ( I was waiting for the mono-rail to be finished)

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer seemed to try and understand who I was and what I could bring to thier school.

What impressed you negatively?

#1 The large nunber of people being interviewed (about 100). #2 The current med students. They acted as if we were total idiots with no self confidance, quite insulting. #3 The large class size (280). About 750 med students on campus. #4 Expense for out of state applicants $3500+ for all four years #5 How easily Hoosiers are impressed by a mono-rail (reminds me of the Simpsons episode)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They expected us to wear pants. Cursing like a sailor is frowned upon.

What are your general comments?

Disappointing school! If you want to be a number, this is your school. Being an out-of-stater(thank god)the school would be very expensive and the surroundings would be depressing (no matter what campus). Certainly my last choice. However, knowing my luck it will be the only school that accepts me. See you soon, I'll be the poor depressed person up in the corner whispering "only four more years" to myself.
