What impressed you positively?

Everyone was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly. We were escorted to and from our interviews, thereby eliminating our fears of getting lost. The school has great facilities and is in an excellent location.

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition, obviously, but this IS a private institution. Getting around Rush is tricky--this place is one huge maze. If you wanted to play a game of hide-and-seek, I guarantee they'd never find you!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how stress-free the experience would be. I was really nervous about the interviews, and so I barely slept the night before. RELAX, they're not out to get you!

What are your general comments?

After being welcomed, we were given an overview of the day. The interviews were held in the morning, after which we were given a clinical tour by an M3 student and resident. Next, we had lunch with a group of medical students. These then took us on a tour of the college itself. We had plenty of opportunities to ask questions about the school and student life. Overall, it was a great day. Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a LOT of walking!
