Does anyone know where we can locate our RU ID? Trying to start the financial aid application and it says it should be included in the acceptance letter, but I don't see it.

Update: You can omit the RU ID portion of the financial aid e-form. I confirmed with the FA office this afternoon.

Does anyone know if they're still sending out II? I was complete early August and have been "under review" since November.
I sifted through last years SDN thread and it looks like the last interview invite recorded on there was January 28th for a February 10th interview. I'm guessing this month will be the last month of interview invites. :nailbiting:
...but the email they sent us earlier in December states that they will extend II's through February so who knows.

:arghh: The pressure
 
Does Rush interview for waitlist spots? The interview date for next Wednesday (1/25) is full, so the only date left is 2/8. Seems like the last of the cycle, and I'm sure their class is pretty much full...

waitlisted. This one stung cause I really thought it was a good fit for me. Anyone know what the waitlist movement is like here?
 
Rush has finished their interview season, according to the Rush representatives at the AAMC virtual med school fair. I haven't received any notice of rejection yet though.
 
Currently attend Rush. If anyone wants any information on the school or opportunities here, shoot me a message!
 
Question about cost of tuition...

In this image, it shows tuition for M1 this past academic year was approx. $51k... but the text says "In addition to the rates below, each student pays a continuous enrollment fee of $12,698 per term (Fall/Spring), $8,465 per term (Summer)."

Does that mean you are paying an extra $12k in fees twice per academic year?! Am I reading this wrong? Even if it is only a one time fee each year, it seems like tuition is more like $63k per year (or even worse about $75k per year)?

Someone please tell me I have this wrong, haha.

I was thinking the same thing at first. The continuous enrollment fee is only if you have to retake a semester, so it is not included in the normal 4 year program.
 
I thought they were done with interviews for the cycle so should everyone who hasn't gotten an interview be expecting a rejection email in the near future?
