How did you prepare for the interview?

Read website. SDN. Asked other students who had interviewed there.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewers were nice guys. Friendly. Interested in my record. Students were pleasant and enthusiastic about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The disorganization. A bunch of interviewees were left hanging at the wrong location because they were given the wrong room number. I received several e-mails asking me to confirm my interview day/time, despite responding to all of them. My interviewers were not committee members and were not instructors at the school -- what was the point of talking to them? They couldn't answer important questions, like what changes were being made in the curriculum, as reported on their website.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No big revelations.

What are your general comments?

It left me questioning the school. With its disorganization, how frustrating would it be to be a student there? I get the sense that Rush would be a great place to be resident, but I'm not sure about a med student.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
