Sounds like definitely by the order in which secondaries were submitted then.

Hmmm... in that case, I'll check back in June. *sighs*
 
completed early august OOS no ties; 511; strong clinical and service experience- anyone have any feedback or input on if I have a chance at an interview? Seems like the people completed in august have already been offered interviews! I received an update email in Oct but other since... thanks in advanced
 
Anyone else just get the 'please be patient, we are still evaluating you' email?

OOS, secondary submitted early November.

LM52, WARS 63
Yep! Gave me a heart attack thinking it was a rejection email given the subject title and length. OOS, URM, secondary complete late August

Accepted an hour ago!!! So hyped about this school 😭😭 interviewed 12/16

Edit: Also for anyone stressed, I really thought my interviewer didn't like me! I also have <500 volunteer hours which I thought wasn’t enough for a school like Rush


Congrats!! Did you get a call or an email? I got a call which surprised me because it seems like everything has been via email. Tried calling back with no answer. My portal also hasn’t updated.

I got an email and my portal has changed! Was the call from your 1:1 interviewer?
 
Are our cameras on for the social hour? I am debating whether or not it will be more worth it to attend or to prep; can any previous inverviewees share their experience!

Same! Less than 500 hrs of volunteer but significant clinical experience. I also thought i bombed my situational interview. Very surprised and fortunate i got an acceptance.

I don’t know how Rush is, but I’ve been invited to social events like this at other schools and in one case the medical students actually put in a good word for me to the admissions committee. It never hurts to attend. If you are going to attend you should definitely have your camera on though.

finally got the email and portal update. is there a deadline to submit the deposit? I don't see it.
 
for anyone who submitted an update via rush's portal - did you receive a confirmation email showing that it's added to your file? I see it as an attachment under the updates section but I didn't get any notifications indicating I added anything to the page

I uploaded an update letter about 3 weeks ago via the portal and didn't get any notifications about it

I wonder if the update email is Rush's lowkey method of admitting that they have not started reviewing our apps yet since it seems like the second update didn't get sent to everyone...?
I've gotten like 3 update emails all saying the same thing. Maybe they haven't reviewed us yet.
