Has anyone received a pre-interview rejection?

 

[AspiringERMD]

IS, nothing since July. So bummed. I really want an interview here 🙁

 

[Rose99]

My best friend goes here and said that a bunch of kids in his class interviewed in late spring, so don't lose hope!

 

[MinnesotaMed]

Is there a second look day for Rush?

 

[inthelittlethings]

Yes, in the spring

[IWUdoc2015]

[Ardinn33]

Has anyone from the 12/10 interview date heard back yet? I think they were trying to get decisions out before the Holidays.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

I interviewed this day as well. I'm pretty sure they said we are supposed to hear back before the new year, so it will likely be this week.

 

[TheHikingLife]

Just got the acceptance email, interviewed 12/10. Good luck to everyone else, and happy new year!

 

[redshortshorts]

Just got accepted as well! Good luck to everyone. Happy new year indeed.

 

[cHs88]

Has anyone ever had success with an "in the area" email? I'm from Chicago but not there right now and making a trip count for two things would be awesome.

Did you find out? I'm thinking of sending my updated transcript

They do not unfortunately 🙁 ....I emailed them a while back and asked. This was the response:

once an application is submitted we have no mechanism to accept and update information. If you are invited for an interview, you can bring this update and share any other relevant information. Thank you, and thank you for your interest in Rush Medical College.

😵 I sent one a few months ago and they said it was added to my "folder"!

Ok, thank you. I think I'm being silently rejected anyway...

That's confusing, hmm... I was talking about pre-interview updates, maybe yours was post-interview?

Or they just really like you 🙂

No pre-II, yeah at this point I'm not holding my breath either!

Well dang Rush that ain't cool. Glad you got through though and good luck!

 

[FrankWh1te77]

[InNeedofAdvice101]

Still waiting on an II. 34, 3.62. Amped about Rush in general.

Those were pretty much my exact stats. Good luck to you

 

[bimatoprost]

I was completed in August and haven't heard a word from them since. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one.

 

[chickenchaser]

II this morning. Complete oh I don't know a thousand years ago.

 

[Gregory House the real MD]

II this morning. Complete oh I don't know a thousand years ago.

Just wondering, what were ur stats?

 

[al-zahrawi]

Received an email today thanking me for interviewing at Rush and asking me to complete a survey on the interview day experience.

Seeing that I never even received an interview invite, I think I'll reply back thanking them for forgoing the interview and articulating my hopes of a de facto acceptance.

I received the same email.

What do you make of it? Perhaps they meant to send a batch of interview invites but instead sent interview surveys? At least I hope that's what happened....

Well, brother, I checked my portal and no interview tab has appeared. So I'm going to go ahead and assume it was simply a glitch sent to long-gone pioneers of medicine.

Well, dang. I didn't get an email. 🙁

 

[Ruby31]

Complete since 8/27 and still nothing at all.....silent rejection?

Yeah, I looked a bit through the thread and didn't see any rejections. Does anyone know for sure if RUSH silently rejects?

 

[talkshowhost]

II this morning. Complete oh I don't know a thousand years ago.

When were you actually complete?

 

[chickenchaser]

Mid July. Basically right after I got it.
LizzyM~66, so if there's hope for me, there's hope for us all.
The available dates were from January to March so I think there's definitely more interviews to be handed out! I'm sending positive vibes to your inboxes.

 

[Ramvball22]

have they done silent rejections in the past? And do IIs tend to go out on Mondays or does it vary?

 

[RavensFan26]

II today!! Very excited.

Anyone who has interviewed here this season have any tips, things to prepare for, etc.?

 

[CyrilFiggis]

Care to share stats and when you were complete?

 

[RavensFan26]

Sure! 30 MCAT, 3.64 overall GPA, 3.58 BCPM GPA. I've got pretty strong extracurriculars I think- ER scribe, psychology/neuroscience research, teaching assistant, etc. Submitted my supplemental app on 7/22.

+1 for II, been complete since July. Look at my MDapps for stats and EC's.

Usual stuff: study everything about the school and your app...They are very into community service and are looking for applicants who share that mindset. https://rcsipclinics.wordpress.com/about-2/ This site outlines some of those community service projects. I would be familiar with them. Interview was laid back and the whole day was very well run, you could tell the admissions dept was on the ball. Good Luck.

Yeahh I remember that their supplemental app had a lot of questions related to community service. Thanks for the tip!
