✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews, IUSM research, refreshed on EC's and application flaws. Several common interview questions (why medicine, tell me about yourself, why IU) were asked.

What impressed you positively?

Interviewers were very friendly. They had a list of questions but still made the interview conversational.

What impressed you negatively?

The zoom interview did not have a time extension and abruptly ended at 40 minutes. Fortunately we were in the process of concluding and my questions had been answered.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

One of the interviewers was a fourth-year medical student. Had I known that beforehand I would have prepared other questions for him.

What are your general comments?

Relax! Try to talk about something you enjoy. When I mentioned playing violin we talked about music and instruments for about 5-10 minutes. Prepare some questions to ask them. Their answers to my questions made the interview very informative.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
