What are your general comments?

"I felt that IU has done well with their interviewing system. The date was a mass-interview day with about 100 people, although interviews were conducted individually with two interviewers at once. The day was well structured and I didn't spend much time waiting around for the next event. My only complaint with my experience was that the campus tour (guided by students) was half-assed. We saw the lecture rooms and walked around the outside of the campus. However, we didn't see the hospitals (the hospital system is quite large), labs, etc. " Report Response

Student
