What was the most interesting question?

You are working as a physician, and a 200lb, 5'1" female patient comes to you complaining of pain in the ankles, lower back & breasts, shortness of breath, difficulty climbing stairs, high blood pressure, etc. She tells you that she used to smoke 3 packs/day, but is now down to 1 pack/day. She then says, "Doctor, I know what youre going to tell me...youre going to say that I need to quit smoking, and lose weight. Well, others have tried to get me to do those things, and I just cant. But if you tell me to do just one of those things, then I'll do it." Which one do you pick, and why?

If I were to ask your friends about you, what would they say are your two best qualities and your two worst qualities?

How did you prepare for the interview?

This was my first interview, so I had a mock interview with my pre-health advisor, read Rush's website and MSAR profile, and did a google news search to find any recent items about Rush.

What impressed you positively?

Students seem very happy, and enthusiastic. In retrospect, I dont think I've seen another school that pampers its students like this one.

What impressed you negatively?

Honestly, I loved this school and dont really have any complaints.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Excellent experience. I came in with some misgivings about Rush and its reputation, and left convinced that this would be one of my top choices. Just found out that I was admitted, so I'm really excited at the prospect of going!
