Congrats! And thank you for the info! I guess I will throw in an app and see what happenshi! i had about 250-300 volunteer hours (across various tutoring and mentorship roles) at time of app with about 200 hours projected after submission and I was accepted (no prior hold)! i think your whole application plays a part, and i wouldn't write off the school just because your volunteer hours don't hit a certain number
Spoke with an ambassador yesterday and they said Rush is doing individual tours. The ambassador mentioned it I’m in the area to just let them know and they’ll sign up to show me around the campus. Highly recommend reaching out to talk to an ambassador if you have more questions, I had questions about a specific track and being a non-trad and was able to get connected with two different students quickly.
Does anyone want to see if they still think they can get us a notification this week of the scholarships we applied to? Idk why I'm scared to ask lol
nothing yet, i thought there was supposed to be a townhall tomorrow april 4th? if I'm not mistaken its supposed to be the first tuesday of every month but I haven't gotten the reminder yet which I usually get the day before.
Yes, they said they'll have it done within the next week
alright thanks, so hopefully by next week wed
I was also confused by this! Because that's what current students told me, but admissions team members said yesterday that clinicals are graded
Yeah I could've sworn during interview day that's what they said. Definitely a big factor to take into consideration so I will probably email admissions and ask.
i was also confused about this, please let us know if they do reply to you! tia!
unless something has changed since December, according to an email that Dr. Patwari (i think the dean of curriculum?) sent to me, "We have no plan of going pass fail for M3 and M4 year at this time". so P/F M1-M2, H/HP/P/F M3-M4. idt rush can afford to go PF for clinical years like the top schools do, so i think this is good for rush students to stand out.
It’s not posted anywhere yet!
Nothing yet!
that was merit based or need based?
“Merit,” I say that cause it definitely wasn’t my grades or MCAT. It had more to do with my ECs I think and my record of service.
Per the financial aid office, only need-based scholarships have gone out so far!
were you on the regular waitlist or priority waitlist?
One of the essay ones you had to apply for, or regular merit based that you’re automatically considered for?
One of the essay ones
Yes I got an email for it! And I haven’t rechecked my financial aid yet
oh shoot they did say the 14th for that, i forgot. not yet!
I just got the email this morning.
Anyone else not found yet about the HESJLP scholarly track?
I heard back about the HESJLP earlier today, but I’m not sure how they are going about sending out emails. I’m sure you will hear something soon!
Would also love to know if anyone would be nice to PM me. I have work during this time
unless I'm mistaken, monthly town halls are first Tuesday of every month? so unless I'm wrong I don't think there was one
Correct! I’m not 100% about the first year though (didn’t really think about that…)
