What impressed you positively?
The facilities were all relatively new, there was construction going on
What impressed you negatively?
My interview was the very last of the day on the first full day of interviews. Since IU interviews about 100 students at a time, I'm sure my interviewers were tired. However, that is not an excuse for one of them DOSING OFF during my interview. Basically one of them asked questions while the other was literally falling asleep. That definitely reflected very negatively on the school and their representatives.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing. I was advised to know the meaning of professionalism and the core competencies beforehand.
What are your general comments?
Since my interviewer couldn't go through the trouble of staying awake, it was not worth my time.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
IU was the only school I applied to that did not use electronic correspondence. This made the schoo
