I got that email too. I assume it's for anyone who's been holding onto their secondary for awhile and have not submitted yet.
Any interviews from here yet?

Yep. Good luck to everyone tmrw!
Anyone here interviewing today??
II received on Monday 
Stats if you don't mind? Would love to get in this school. Congrats by the way!II received on Monday
There aren't many interviews on this thread so I doubt it, but it's impossible to know. They don't accept updates right?
I interviewed last Wednesday (9/20) and it was their first Interview Day. I doubt they've given out that many II's yet, but like you said - it's impossible to know.
Also, they do not accept updates. Best of Luck!

"The 2017 entering class had a mean undergraduate science GPA of 3.55, a mean MCAT score of 30 (old MCAT) or 510 (MCAT15), over 2600 healthcare exposure hours as well as over 1300 hours of community service experience."
Do they mean total 2600 hours of healthcare exposure and 1300 hours of community service or average 😵 I have seen some people with hours like that on here so I am getting a bit worried now.

Those are their class averages.
That is a gargantuan average. I'm out of this race. Good luck to all of you 🙂
As long as you meet the minimums, I don't think there is any reason to believe you're out of the race. I'd bet that the median numbers are much lower, and the mean is skewed upward by students who worked full time in a health field. That said, Rush definitely has a type.

Congrats! You're gonna love it!!
Congrats!!! got it now?
Thanks!! Got it yesterday at like around 4-5 pm
I'm confused, does II mean secondary? Why are people saying they are excited to visit Chicago because they received a secondary? If II means interview then going to Chicago would make sense.. am I missing something?
II means Interview Invite
Secondary submitted this weekend! I received it 50 days ago. Would love to return to my home state for school! I got wrapped up in secondaries and my full time job, which is why it took me so long to turn it around. I hope Rush will be understanding. Good luck to all!
Oh that makes sense, thanks!
I accidentally submitted a committee letter plus 2 individual letters because I am a knucklehead. BUT to me their "non-academic" and "personal" letters do seem interchangeable and vague. If I reapplied next year, I would most likely use my clinical volunteer supervisor or a physician I've shadowed/scribed for as the non-academic letter, and for the personal letter I would use my PI or a physician (but not a physician for both).
any recent II?

So to follow up on the original question, I just called the admissions office to explain my situation and Alyssa (sp?) said that “if other colleges had accepted the letters you submitted to them, then you should be fine for us.” I told her that I’m about 10 years older than the average applicant. She said it should be fine. I submitted 2 letters from physicians that I know and have shadowed, 1 from a physician that I do clinical research with, and 1 from my lab manager. I hope this helps.
So after going through the 2016-17 thread for RMC (and wading through the MDvs.DO fiasco), I noticed that some people were getting "under review" updates 2-3 months after submitting their secondaries. Has anyone with II's (or not) gotten such emails after the usual "Your application is complete" email? Submitted last week of August so I wasn't expecting to hear back super soon or anything, but just wanted to see when others are getting updated.

complete end of july, no updates yet
I never got an update
Wow, that's awesome!! You must be a perfect fit for their mission.
Congrats! Would you mind telling us your stats?
*Quietly sobbing because I've been complete since 7/31 and there has just been silence*
Congrats, though! You must be an amazing candidate-- good luck at the interview!

When did you receive it? and stats?
last week not really comfortable sharing my stats, sorry! But best of luck to you. I was complete early September.
Yup, the sheer amount of panic it caused will be enough to carry me through the rest of the day 😛
Going to assume it’s nothing. The email title got my hopes up for nothing

Why am I not getting these extraneous emails from any of the programs I applied to?
I applied 7/5 and did not recieve this email?
Edit: it was sent via portal.. nothing to my email address though

also applied in July and didn't receive lol. Maybe they already reviewed ours and we are on silent hold, and they sent the email only to people who they haven't reviewed yet...idk I could read all kinds of into this
Same... ugh
