What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

"The day was awesome. You have an orientation first..and the admissions director is very honest and straight forward. The nice thing about Rush's admission process is that you have just as much of a chance of being accepted in march as you do if you had interviewed in october or november (they told us that on interview day). So a march interviewee is definitely interviewing for open spots. You have two interviews. One open file the other closed file with access to your secondary. The closed file interview was definitely a lot more fun and enjoyable. Both interviewers were just trying to get to know you as a person. I did not get any hard questions or ethical questions. Enjoy the day..it will be fun!" Report Response
