How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about Rush.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are very nice, they have an amazing view of Chicago, the one faculty member I met was very friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

My open-file interviewer seemed to discourage me from doing medicine. He really stressed the fact that I might have to give up music in medical school and he didn't think I was prepared to face that. It was incredibly intimidating.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I sat around a lot.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I didn't get the best feeling about the school. The student who led the tour was a first year and didn't seem too enthusiastic, and my interviewers were either not very personable or purposely intimidating. I left without really understanding Rush is truly like.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
