Unlike most of the other applicants, i was NOT asked an ethics question or "how does one get cancer?" Instead, the interviewer wanted to know why becoming a doctor is important to me.

What was the most difficult question?

What can you bring to Rush? (i am not a big fan of these type of questions because you pretty mush say the same thing for each school that asks you this question.)

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, my AMCAS file, and my secondary application

What impressed you positively?

The students were very nice and it is in a great location. The administration is really dedicated to producing excellent doctors (not neccess. physician scientists, which is a bit of a down side).

What impressed you negatively?

see above

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there was going to be music playing and a picture slide show in the morning. It was pretty funny. I have no idea why i &quot;wish i had known of this ahead of time&quot; but i just wanted to share this with others.

What are your general comments?

The interview was well organized and a person walks you to and from your interviews. You have 2 interviews 1 open file, the other closed both 30 min long. I felt that they were really easy but many students (60-80%) complained that they were asked difficult ethical questions or stupid bio questions like &quot;how does one get aids? or cancer?&quot; Regardless, I must have done well enough to get in!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
