How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interview practice.

What impressed you positively?

The people at Rush are creative and smart. It's a very supportive environment.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt grilled by my interviewer. He seemed preoccupied by the weaknesses in my application and focused pretty exclusively on wanting to hear about them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would be scrutinized. Other friends of mine that interviewed here had a much friendlier interviewer. Mine was a bit standoffish and critical.

What are your general comments?

Rush is an amazing school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

A little more continuity in interviewers would be nice. My interviewer was critically analyzing my application and made several negative comments. I heard from others that their interviewer didn't really ask them any questions just sat and talked with them. I really enjoyed that such an effort was made to match interviewers with candidates that had something in common. That was a welcome and nice touch.
