How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed my application and secondaries, mock interview.

What impressed you positively?

They students are very happy at Rush. They all seem to have a good balance between school and social life. The new hospital will be finished by 2012. Curriculum is changing (cutting down on class, physicianship program). Chicago is AMAZING! All the professors still practice medicine and see patients.

What impressed you negatively?

Length of time in class (but they are going to do something about this), housing is a bit pricey.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How cold it would be...I clearly did wear enough layers.

What are your general comments?

Overall, great experience and wonderful interviews. They are just curious to get to know you. Very low stress. People from admissions office take you from the meeting room to each interview so you don't get lost.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
