How did you prepare for the interview?

I read my AMCAS over including personal statement, read feedback on this site, and read the Rush website in detail.

What impressed you positively?

The students were really friendly, and not to sound like a pig, but the lunch really made my day! It was huge and very delicious, so if your interviews are over in the morning (as mine were), then sit back and enjoy a big, yummy lunch to celebrate! In addition, the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the day. I felt very comfortable there.

What impressed you negatively?

My first interview was very short, while my second interview was very long. I was therefore left feeling like I really didn't know how I had done overall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

I had a really good day at Rush. I felt that the interviews were challenging, and since there were my first I was somewhat nervous. However, the atmosphere is really relaxed, warm, and friendly. I felt that I would find the support that I'm sure we will all seek from our schools during the next four years.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
