How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, school website, previous interviews

What impressed you positively?

clinical rotations. Rush is affiliated with Rush Medical Center and Cooks County. Rush medical center predominately treats patients who are wealthy and Cooks County treats patients who are poor. Thus, students get to see a wide spectrum of patients.

What impressed you negatively?

9-5 schedule pre-clinical years. the campus is pretty much 2 floors in a building.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

there were only 4 other interviewees.

What are your general comments?

I thought the interviews were intense. My interviewers asked me almost everything. My first interviewer kept asking me to elaborate on my answer. For example, I would give him an answer after which he would say "aside from the answer you gave me, can you think of other reasons?" I just kept repeating my answers.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
