Thanks! I have no idea tbh, but I've been volunteering at my campus hospital and in pathology research for the past year. Volunteered this summer at a heritage and a bit at a community hospital. Beyond that just small school org. volunteering opportunities my first two ugrad years.

Does anyone know the OOS to IS ratio? Trying to feel out my odds of getting an A, but all I can find are total IIs and maltriculating class size.

Good luck everyone! Oh, and if anyone from Ohio plans on going late Nov/early Dec, dm me. Wouldn't mind carpooling :)

Edit: Currently taking Greyhound. Probably need a place to stay. Anyone know a cheap/free place I could sleep on December 4th?

Nice, was just wondering because I have decent volunteer hours like you but nothing insane (like 600 or 700+), and I heard Rush likes service so I was a bit worried but it's looking like that that's not what excludes someone from getting an interview so yay.

According to MSAR, 46 IS applicants, and 90 OOS. They interviewed 119 IS and 323 OOS last year.

I submitted my secondary sometime mid July & radio silence since then. I’m just assuming now that it’ll lead to R

Don't assume, brah. It's still November and they're not in any Rush to fill their class. :bookworm:

So Rush is not receptive to updates or ITA, correct? Is there anything we can do at this point to show our continued interest? Really hoping for an II here!

Yes, if you scroll up you'll see someone received one 11/6 and the dates offered were through Nov. In the past they have interviewed *though January, so they will be sending out more IIs.

*forgot "through", and it seems they interview through Feb as well!

Do they not interview out till march or something? Or is it that around Jan is when they stop sending II cause their booked?
 
lol been done last week of July still nothing :(

I am praying to the gods I get an II here. I've been accepted elsewhere but would love to go to Rush instead.

Lol that’s exactly how I feel. Have a few acceptances but likely would turn them down for Rush. Now if only there was a way to let them know that!

I am interested in hearing about the new curriculum. How do students like the flipped classroom with more small group and PBL? How much time is spent per week for small group stuff? Is it true that it is 15 mandatory hours... Thank you!

Hi everyone! Californian interviewing here on 12/05! Any tips on how to dress for the weather (male)? Much appreciated!
 
Accepted last Friday! Interviewed on 10/31. I am beyond excited!! Does anyone know if there is an accepted students facebook page? I haven't heard much from Rush besides the offer of admission.

They don't accept ITA. Updates are only accepted after February for waitlisted applicants.
 
Does anyone know if Rush does silent rejections? Complete mid August and still silence...

They don’t do silent rejections. They usually send out rejections around February. They also send II through ~January as well.

many schools are doing deferrals this cycle when they haven't in the past due to the new traffic rules I believe!
