HOLY BALONEY. Woke up to an II!!! This is one of my dream schools
LM 67, IS ORM from CA. Complete 7/23
EDIT: Also, I got the "Update email" a few days before getting the II. So it's definitely not a HOLD email!

Congrats!
II this morning! LM ~67. I received this invite after getting the 'working on it' email a few days ago. I definitely thought that was a hold! What a relief!
Congrats! When were you complete if you don’t mind me asking?

What dates were available october?
Every Wednesday in October!
Submitted everything by 7/15. However, my last (late) letter didn't come in until 8/20. Would I be "complete" on 7/15 or 8/20? Dumb question I know haha
8/20
If it was a required letter, then 8/20.
That’s not necessarily true, if you had indicated a letter was coming on amcas whether it was required or not you still wouldn’t be complete.
IF you added the letter request on amcas after you were already complete at the schoo you would be complete. But if the outstanding letter request was there all along you are complete when the letter is submitted.

Ahh hoping it'd have been 7/15 lol. Oh well, nothing I can do to fix it. It was required as it was my last science letter unfortunately.
I'm hoping they'll see I wasn't lazy, careless, etc. and maybe see I was proactive. Things out of my control.
Next question: am I considered "late" because of it? Some sources say "no" just cause it wasn't based on my end of the work. Others say "yes."

Depends on a lot of factors. If you are a strong stay applicant that has thousands of hours of extensive service experience then no.
Correct second part
Does anyone who interviewed at RUSH last week want to comment on how their experience went?
Wow, I am interviewing on October 2nd, and this looks really promising. Anyone who interviewed here recently want to comment on the overall day? I know you sign NDA's but just looking for more of an overview.
Also, I applied for the student hosting program, but still no reply on that. Anyone else experience this?
And how long after the interview do you think they will take to get back to us?
Anyone else get a “still under consideration” email?? What does that mean..
it means you are still under consideration. it is not a hold or a rejection. you are in the running for an II!

Opened my email to the "we're working on your application email". Reading the first half of the first sentence "Thank you for submitting...", my mind went to "but unfortunately" automatically and thought it was a R
Can anyone explain the difference between the faculty and administrative interview? I know the administrative is with an ADCOM but do they know anything about us is it open file too?
not him, but Stryker does a phone interview before actual II.
Got the "we're still working on it" e-mail yesterday morning. Anyone know if this is any type of indicator? Rush is one of my top picks so knowing I'm still in the running is a little re-assuring!

Just like what the Email says- they are still working on your app. Hence, you are still being considered. Someone did mention that they received an II after having received the same Email a few days before.

Anyone know if Rush is receptive to post-interview update/LOI? Rush is my top choice going in, and the interview day affirmed it for me. But I don’t want to seem like I’m brown nosing our something.
I interviewed yesterday. Specifically asked if they were open to an update post interview. She said no, save updates for if you are wait listed. At this point it would t change anything and would be a waste. This was the director of admissions m.
How did you like the school?
Its pretty breath taking. I don't want to get my hopes up-- but everyone is so nice, from the students to the faculty, and the two hospitals are just like nothing I have seen before. Having access to rush and STROGER right accross the street is worth going on those merits alone.
is it recommended to send an update/LOI to Rush if you have not yet received an II?
This is the first year they are allowing updates period-- last year they kinda did if u were active consideration/waitlist post II.
I have to imagine that it really isn't going to have any bearing pre-II since they have never really done it that way. But what is the harm if you don't have a II yet? Worst case it just never gets looked at.
Welp, I didn't know this. Had already sent off my update detailing a new publication to Rush hoping it would remind them of my app. 🙁
I would also add to the update conversation that both the complete email and “update on your application status” email which many of us received state using the update portal if we wished to provide updates. I feel like they’re stating they want to know about what we are doing / if we’re doing anything new. And if they don’t like them, it’s kind of on them because they stated we could use the update portal to keep them updated.
Dr boyd is dean of admissions. This was the director of admissions. Also — it was on my interview day so has no bearing to people sending updates pre - II but she said save post II updates for if u need it after decision. She said it would be wasting it at that point before u get a decision.
"if u need it after decision. She said it would be wasting it at that point before u get a decision. "
Does this mean that it would be a waste to send in an update before a decision is made on their end after you have interviewed? I am thinking why send in an update after they have emailed you their decision if you are rejected? (I would assume someone who is accepted would send an update as there is no need)
Not if you get rejected, but maybe useful if you get waitlisted.
It’s a waste because they encourage updates if you are on the waitlist or under active consideration and she said they wouldn’t look at it when making the initial decision.
I did! And got a II just a day or 2 later..
