How did you prepare for the interview?

I read up a little on Rosalind Franklin herself, just in case I was asked about her work (I wasn't). Otherwise, I just checked over my application to made sure I remembered the details that they would have in front of them while interviewing me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students all seem very tight-knit and the school is small enough that there's plenty of one-on-one time with lecturers.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Chicago Medical School at RFUMS has been on a probation sanctioned by LCME, and they just recently were told that they are no longer under probation but are still being closely monitored. Also, the school is an hour away from the city of Chicago, and the North Chicago/Gurnee/Waukegan area is nothing to get excited about. Not to mention, we went to a nearby restaurant and discovered that sales tax is 15 percent! There's a fairly high cost of living that I think is just not worth it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

How far outside of Chicago the school is and that they had been on probation.
