I think they've sent two updates per person so far. If you submitted earlier, you should have gotten the second update earlier as well. My guess is those who just received the update letter probably submitted later and were getting the second update letter we already received. This same thing happened a few months earlier.
Didn’t some people get three updates? I was complete in July got one in December one in October
N=1 but I was complete early August and have received 3 of those “your application is still under consideration” emails.
Yeah I got three
Same here. Nothing yet and spamming my email inbox for updates haha
I've been refreshing my inbox and spam folder repeatedly today. Nothing yet for me either. haha, why do they do this to us?
how many update emails did you get?

3 but i really don't think they mean anything.
Congrats! When did you interview and how did you feel? Did you send a letter after your interview thanking them or any letters of intent/interest?
they do!
Perfect, thank you!
Congratulations! Do you recall by any chance what dates they offered you?

Feb 2nd, Feb 9th and I think the week after that too.
I would say hold off on asking them for updates because quite frankly since this school has been sending out pre-II R waves’s throughout the cycle, if their ADCOM had an update for you then they’d def tell you by now. Instead, I would send them an update/Letter of interest to show that you are still thinking about them and maintain a consistent interest in their school
This is really helpful, thank you.
I did this! I sent a Letter of Interest back in November or so and received an II recently! Not sure if any correlation tho..
Continued interest in an institution is a metric they consider! Why send an interview invite and/or acceptance to someone that would rather go elsewhere? It never hurts to show that you are very interested in an institution if it is genuine so I am sure that helped your case! Congratulations & best of luck with your interview!!!
+1 :////
+1 except I havent sent an update because im just working the same job but I realllllly want to go here I have 10 year experience as a CNA/ RN plz rushh. I also started volunteering at the animal shelter ICU which idk if they'd care about but Im debating sending something cause I really wanna go here
thank you this was really helpful! I uploaded an interest letter to the portal a few weeks ago. would you suggest also emailing the adcom with the letter as well or would that be a bit much. It's hard to tell sometimes where the line is between being too much and showing interest. Any help is appreciated!
Not a problem whatsoever! I would say that emailing the admissions committee a copy of the letter that you already uploaded to the portal might come off as a little excessive so I would avoid doing that if at all possible. You can always call or email the admissions Office and ask them how many remaining slots they have for interviews during the remainder of this application cycle which will give you important information while showing interest without being redundant.
Personally, I am attracted to Rush's service-based mission, impactful research presence, welcoming & accepting culture, newer facilities, flipped-classroom instructional approach, location, and reputation among the community as well as other Chicago-based academic medical institutions. Basically, the well-roundedness of Rush is what sold me!
ahhh congrats! mind sharing stats and completed date?
Complete on 9/5/21.
I love your story & growth! Congrats on coming so far and good luck with your interview! Rooting for you!!!
I feel you. I’m really hoping for a Hail Mary
If you got on the priority waitlist you will prob get in. The normal waitlist was not used last year or the year before even though they said it would. They overaccepted the last 2 years. It could be different this year since prior to COVID they routinely used their waitlist, but just send letters of intent saying that if they accept you you will come.
My letter didn't mention "priority waitlist"- would they have explicitly stated that in the email? Meaning, should I assume I'm not on priority waitlist?
Wondering the same thing....
