I've got 3000+ clinical hours and 500+ nonclinical hours and got screened. But I think it was GPA.

Wait really? I didn’t think this was a hard screen. Anyone know how many applicants actually get a secondary

Last I heard (I think past few weeks) it was ~6500 out of 9000 that get secondaries but please no one yell at me if it's gone up or down since that stat was formulated!

Anyone else having trouble with getting the green complete mark on their letters of rec section? It's been a couple days since I designated my letters, but it still shows up as red incomplete mark.
I was having this issue for weeks and I just figured out that even if you don't have anything to write in the letter designation box you have to write N/A or any text in the box to have the form read it as completed. I did that and was complete immediately after

I doubt that its a hard screen on volunteering. I mean I have 30 hours non clinical and about 250 clinical and I received a secondary. Im gonna apply, although Im not really hoping for too much. Those avg volunteering hours really scare me lol

What are your stats? Rush does screen, so this is one possibility but not necessarily what happened

Just started working on the secondary, hopefully will have it complete tomorrow as the 1,000 character limit is pretty low (~160 words).

thats pretty odd tbh, i didnt get verified till like July 20s, and got my secondary a day or two later
 
ii just now, complete 7/9! So happy about this one. Their mission is really aligned with my goals. I've seen people reference their high post ii acceptance rate but does anyone have an actual number on this? Thanks!

I think they’re inviting the standout applicants first for interviews. Don’t worry just yet because they’ll get down the pile

wow congrats!!! what are your stats?
 
What is everyone doing for the LOR requirements? I have 1 physician, 2 science, and 1 non-science letter. Not sure how to account for both the personal and non-academic letter requirements
 
Where you at, Rush? :eyebrow:

Anyone know if they accept in the area updates? What are the chances one might garner a response? Thanks!
 
Primary will be approved in about 10 days, is it too late to apply to Rush after Labor Day?
