💬 Interview Questions
What was the most interesting question?
You are working as a physician, and a 200lb, 5'1" female patient comes to you complaining of pain in the ankles, lower back & breasts, shortness of breath, difficulty climbing stairs, high blood pressure, etc. She tells you that she used to smoke 3 packs/day, but is now down to 1 pack/day. She then says, "Doctor, I know what youre going to tell me...youre going to say that I need to quit smoking, and lose weight. Well, others have tried to get me to do those things, and I just cant. But if you tell me to do just one of those things, then I'll do it."
Which one do you pick, and why?

Students seem very happy, and enthusiastic. In retrospect, I dont think I've seen another school that pampers its students like this one.

Honestly, I loved this school and dont really have any complaints.
What are your general comments?
Excellent experience. I came in with some misgivings about Rush and its reputation, and left convinced that this would be one of my top choices.
