What was the most interesting question?

"None, this was by far the worst interview experience I have ever had. My interviewers did not understand the point of an interview. They spent the entire time 'grilling me' rather than getting to know me to see if I would be a good 'fit' for their school. Combative." Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most difficult question?

""Well what would you do as a medical student (question asked angrily by the interviewer) if your very best friend's family; his mother, father, brother, and sister were all killed in a fiery car crash by a drunk driver. And he couldn't deal with it so he went drinking that night and the next day didn't come into rounds because he was hungover. And he texts you asking to cover for him. What would you do?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

How did you prepare for the interview?

"Read SDN questions. Read about IUSM online. Practiced answers to typical questions." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"Nothing. Unbelievably atrocious interview experience. This school should be ashamed of its admissions process. I am absolutely disgusted by their treatment of pre-medical students during the interview day. I'm sure my experience would have been completely different had I been interviewed by a decent, reasonable, intelligent person. Unfortunately that was not the case. Good luck everyone." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"My entire experience with IUSM was horrible. My interviewers were combative, disrespectful, disinterested in my answers. They had made up their minds from the moment I shook their hands. I have very high stats, and my first question was: "Why did you even apply here?" This was followed by a long list of ridiculous ethical questions including: "Well what would you do as a medical student (question asked angrily by the interviewer) if your very best friend's family; his mother, father, brother, and sister were all killed in a fiery car crash by a drunk driver. And he couldn't deal with it so he went drinking that night and the next day didn't come into rounds because he was hungover. And he texts you asking to cover for him. What would you do?"" Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"How much of an asshole my interviewers would be. Focused completely on one minor alcohol-related incident that occurred during my undergraduate career. My interviewers were bullies. Took advantage of the power difference in the interviewer-interviewee relationship." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I highly recommend that anyone who is 'on the fence' about applying or interviewing with IUSM to not attend. If my experience is any predictor or indicator of how the faculty interact with students then this is not a medical school you should attend. By the way, I say this as a pre-medical student with siblings and many friends who attend this school." Report Response
