Indiana University

This interview was actually quite fun and relatively low-stress!! I had very intelligent and kind interviewers.

There were about 40 minutes of down time in between the time when I checked in and the time when my interview began.

The Zoom interview module closed automatically when the interview time was up, making a proper sign-off difficult.

My interviewers explicitly stated that they wanted the interview to be low-stress. They answered my questions intelligently and graciously and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to ask them. They appeared very engaged and curious about my thought processes and responses.

Read SDN interview questions for IU, wrote out responses to commonly asked questions, practiced speaking my responses in a mirror and with other people

Good interview, more hypotheticals/talk about a time you … type of questions than questions about your application

I was never asked “why do you want to be a doctor” or “why medicine” and had to find a way to casually throw it into an answer to a later question

Nothing stuck out as negative

Very friendly interviewers, financial aid and student panel meetings with multiple options for time to attend

Reading student doctor network sample questions

Just to relax and that it will not go perfectly but that's okay.

Interviewers were super kind and easy to talk to.

SDN, mock interviews, videos online

I think they ask all of the interviewees the same questions. Some of them were traditional questions and some were MMI-type. It was hard to think on my feet. I would practice both traditional and MMI-style questions for this one. The interviewers seemed nice and they technically had my file, but they didn’t ask me about anything in my file. It felt more like a closed interview and not conversational.

The interview wouldn’t be very conversational and it would be questions from a list

The different regional campuses and concentration options

SDN, almost all of the questions I was asked were on here

the virtual interview platforms logs everyone out after 40 mins, kind of felt like rushing at the end but it was nice that we were basically at the end of our conversation

more conversational than "interview style", getting to know the interviewee

SDN, go over competencies, go over my own experiences from the application
