Comradeship. Every one, like SDN said, is very, very friendly. They are very willing to help you. Ask the students and staff anything!

What are your general comments?

Great Location. Great People. Incredible New hospital being built. So nice. Huge Medical Complex. Great Teaching place. lots of hot women if your a man! Doctors are your friends and teachers. Chicago has tons to see and do. I never thought Rush was this good. You have to see to believe that Rush is a TOP notch school. You will be trained a good doctor. They have you shadow and acutally do diagnosing as an M1. Sick Sick school. I hope I get in. I cant wait to go there!!!

None, Jill Volk, the director of recruitment was so friendly and helpful. She was smiling and was very interested in us.
