My award package has posted to my Rush account. I didn’t receive any an email, just happened to check.
Hi.
I have provided the link to find it. It is located under the " Medical Student forms", on the first page, scroll down.
Financial Aid Forms 2021-2022 | Financial Aid Forms | RUSH University
Rush University understands that applying for aid can be overwhelming. To make the process easier for you, here you’ll find links to the forms you’ll need to access financial assistance.www.rushu.rush.edu
Thank you so much!
I emailed it today and they uploaded it, send it to [email protected]!did you all email this form to the finaid office or upload it somewhere?

Wow congrats that’s great. Now I can’t help but be concerned for myself since I was put on the priority waitlist a few weeks before you and have yet to hear anything :/ not sure if this means I don’t have a chance anymore..Very late to the game here, but A off the Priority 2021 Waitlist about an hour ago! OOS, Complete July, interviewed in Jan, WL end of Jan.
Best of luck to everyone else on the WL!!
Thanks! I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I don’t believe the waitlists are ranked, or ordered based on when you were placed on the WL. Each applicant should be individually reviewed for their characteristics, experiences, etc. and how they fit into the incoming class. Best of luck!Wow congrats that’s great.

Got my financial aid award package! Does anyone understand what they mean by Fall, Spring, and Summer awards? My summer award is disproportionally higher than my spring or fall so I'm a little confused if this money can only be used for the summer classes?

Check your outlook/Rush.edu email account. They sent the emails there instead of our AAMC-associated email accounts.Did you receive an email or was it in your portal?
when did you get info on what your rush.edu email is? I just got the email at my personal email address saying "Your award offer for the 2021-22 academic year is ready for review online by logging into the Rush University Portal." but since I don't know what my Rush email address is, I can't log in to the portal lolCheck your outlook/Rush.edu email account. They sent the emails there instead of our AAMC-associated email accounts.
Anyone else not able to see their package? Waiting on IT support *sigh*
Edit: Emailed financial aid and they sent a screenshot for anyone having the same issue!
like 3 weeks-ishHow long did it take to receive your Rush account info (email, student id, etc.) after your acceptance?
Yes, I believe they do. Their website talks about it under the financial aid section. They have both need-based and merit-based grants/scholarships that you are automatically considered for, and the office of admissions should reach out to you about those as well.anyone know if rush gives need-based grants/scholarships?
im hearing back tomorrow too! from what i’ve seen in this thread decisions are sent out sometime between 10am-12pm CST i thinkAnyone else waiting to hear a decision tomorrow? Do you think it will come in the morning? Or will I be anxiously paralyzed all day waiting?
It will take a few days for CYMS to appear on your app when you are fist accepted into a program.For those who got their acceptance yesterday, has the "Choose your medical school" tool shown up on your amcas yet? Also congratulations!!!
Hey, M1 year ends right around the end of June. M1 summer is from July until the beginning of September (I believe our M2 year started the week before Labor Day, so around 8/9 weeks of summer). In case you're wondering why summer starts so late, Rush is either the last or second to last med school in the country to begin classes in the M1 year. Most schools start in July/August, but Rush starts in September. In terms of M1 summer, there's no way to generalize what the student body does. Some do research, some get a job, some take part in volunteering programs, others to community based health research/programs, some do nothing and chill. It's all about what you want to do. I know a lot of kids my year did some research but also blocked off time to vacation. Generally, most research is remote (I.e. not bench/basic science research) so students are free to leave Chicago (what many of my friends and I did).Could any current students give some insights into around when M1 year is officially over and speak to what students do over the summer break?
No, MD school acceptances follow the AAMCs guidelines. You have to PTE to one school by May 1. And then rush will have a committee to enroll deadlineis the acceptance offer binding? Waiting to review financial aid before committing
Last year only 1 or 2 people came off waitlist. This year, tho, they got rid of active consideration and created a priority waitlist so who knowsHow many come off the waitlist for RUSH?
I know it's already more than 2, myself included, which sounds like good news for everyone! I have a feeling the shift to a priority waitlist has made the process already quite different this cycle compared to the last.Last year only 1 or 2 people came off waitlist.

So I received a half scholarship today! It wasn't any of the ones I applied to that they offered, but I know we are supposed to hear back no later than April 9th I believe for those?Has anyone heard anything back about the merit scholarships yet? Or are we thinking that they'll probably release that info on Friday?
Yep! I received my package prior to scholarshipIf we already got our financial aid package is there still a chance we could get a scholarship?
Ok awesome, fingers crossed! Congrats on your scholarship!!Yep! I received my package prior to scholarship
