What We Look For

Conversations with RUSHEES

"I encourage rushees to talk about whatever interests them deeply. We want to hear about you – your experiences, your interests, your passions. Tell us what you care about and why. That's going to make you stand out during the rush process." - Matt Saletta

"The best feeling is getting something you want that you didn't ask for, meeting someone you like that you weren't looking for, and laughing at something that you weren't expecting. During rush, I don't look for anything. If I leave remembering the rushee, that's all that matters."  – Shail Highbloom

Resume & Cover Letter

"We're looking for rushees who seek challenge. We want to see a breadth of experience, but beyond that, strong candidates are leaders and take the initiative to create change." - Maggie Palys

"I look for professionalism more than anything because even if you haven't had experiences that others have been lucky enough to get, it's important to present yourself honestly but as impressively as you can." -Alyssa Clune

Interview

""I look for interviews that carry substance. Don't tell me what you care about, show me. Talk about times you have taken action, rather than just expressed interest in an area."  -John Harris Alexander

"The interview is the time to show passion, not only about AKPsi but in other hobbies and activities.  I also like to see drive." -Liam Hash

"Quite literally I look for someone who I'd recommend for a job and vouch for and would make plans with for the weekend." -Tyler Margaretten
