Why Rush?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Ethically, if you were pricked with a needle during a surgical procedure, do you feel you're obligated to tell the patient before you run blood tests on them, or can you just do the test since you have access to their blood right there on the surgery table?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

The above questions, since I didn't really see it as much of an ethical questions, as well as the quintessential ''why do you want to be a doctor?'' question that everyone hates.

How did you prepare for the interview?

reviewed my supplemental and amcas, as both interviews are open file in some manner. i also ready up on rush, which was a good thing, as they asked me a question about why i specifically wanted to go to rush.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions office who ran the interview really kept us busy and made us feel comfortable. The interviews were very laid back, and they even had some attendings and the dean of the med school come in to speak with us.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

It was a little bit chaotic, running from one interview to the next; also, my second interviewer had never interviewed a med school applicant before, and it was pretty clear during the interview he didn't know what to ask me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You get a tour of the hospital and the med school, so I wish I had known more about both so I could ask more questions.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a long but pretty stress free day. The interviews are pretty relaxed and typical; getting them out of the way in the morning is nice, so you can enjoy your afternoon tours.
