2022-2023 Rush

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Are there any current Rush students that wouldn't mind DM'ing me so I can get more information about the your experience and the program?
 
Hey guys! So I applied to rush and figured out I had to submit a casper score so honestly i forgot about it.

Just now I received an interview invite but idk if it’s a scam lol. Is the virtual interview through something called thalamus?
If it's a scam they got a lot of us. II just now too. Secondary submitted and complete beginning Oct.

Oh congrats! May I ask for your stats?
I was complete September and haven’t heard from them. I wonder if that means anything
 
Did u do the casper?
I did. If haven't done it just sign up ASAP and complete it. Some schools don't use it for II but will use it when reviewing your file after. Unless you have an A to some where else you'd 100% rather go to and not up to doing it.
 
Congrats!! Do you mind sharing stats? I was complete around that too 🙁
Thank you 😊 I have ~3.5 sGPA, 3.8 post-bacc GPA, and a 50X MCAT score. I will say that I have a couple thousand hours in medical community service and medical/clinical paid employment which probably helped me a lot. I am sending you positive vibes!

Did you take the Casper? I only ask because it is required, and you had to take it by November 15th according to Rush's website!

Nah I didn’t take the casper so I forgot about rush tbh. I guess I’ll just see what happens. I emailed them just waiting on a response

Casper is so dumb- I hope they don’t make you sit out because of it. I got a 2 and still got an acceptance, so it’s obviously not weighed heavily in their decision

Sincerely,

A sociopath
 
Yeah I’m not too worried about it! got the A to my top choice already but I’d be destroyed if I didn’t

I’m just weirded out since I thought the casper played a role in II. I guess they use em for acceptances? Med school apps are weird

That would be strange if they used them for acceptances and not II, since students who have finished all the requirements would not be given a chance to interview then?
 
the date i took was 1/25 and it was the latest with spots open, there were Feb dates on the calendar but idk if they're scheduling that far out since none of the dates had any availability
Thanks for letting me know. Congrats on the interview, and good luck!

Congrats!!! Would you mind sharing stats and are you IS?
 
im looking at tuition right now- is the enrollment fee included in tuition? or is it tuition + enrollment fee?

Pre-II, 50X/3.6 and complete beginning of Sep

Next time, try something like "I'm sorry to hear that, mind if I ask what your stats are?" or something along those lines. I think people on these forums often forget that there is an actual human being behind every anonymous screen name and picture, as well as the concept that you CAN indeed be empathetic to others while also worrying about yourself.

I'm sorry things didn't work out for you @ Rush. However, I noted you are sitting on two A's...you're going to be a doctor regardless. Congrats on your successes so far.
