"Thank you for the opportunity to ask questions. I would love to learn more about this university from your perspective. What is Indiana University School of Medicine's biggest competitive edge over its competitors? Also, does the college recommend any local clinics or community outreach programs I could continue volunteering with during medical school?"

The Indiana University School of Medicine website has a "Student Life" portal where IU medical students give insight into what to expect during your medical school interview. A second-year medical student, an M2, advises students who receive an interview to remember that interviews are a two-way street. When the interviewer asks this question, it is a chance for you to find answers to questions not found in the school's public materials. Furthermore, they advise that it reflects well when you are observant and ask good questions during your interview. Some examples include asking if there is anything the interviewer would like to see added to the curriculum and why, if there are any research opportunities for med students, what makes Indiana University School of Medicine stand out above others, or if they recommend joining a particular student organization.
