Indiana University School of Medicine has an Honor Code, with the core values being central to that code. These values are excellence, respect, integrity, diversity, and cooperation. Members of the IU School of Medicine community strive to uphold and elevate these values, and all students and educators are required to sign the Honor Code. The interviewer wants to ensure you have researched and understand their values and to see which value you resonate with the most. Describe which of the five values jumps out at you the most and why. At the same time, let the interviewer know how all of the values hold some type of meaning for you.

"This is a tough question, as all of the values resonate with me and are what draws me to your school. If I had to choose one, respect resonates the most with me. I was raised by strict but loving grandparents who taught me to respect not only my elders but everyone I come into contact with. I appreciate that respect is one of your core values and that your school inspires students and faculty to respect everyone they encounter."
