i’m OOS, verified 5/29, and still haven’t gotten it. i’m trying to prewrite but a little confused. are the two adversity essays separate text boxes? like the first one is purely just say something bad that happened and the second one is the takeaway? also, is there any limit to the patient contact essays?

correct, they are two separate questions. each 1000 characters. the patient contact essays don't have a limit.

Finally got mine (in-state) today but got verified only about a week ago, seems like they're pretty inconsistent

 

[filmtomd]

are you guys doing anything different for essays 2/2a in terms of a typical adversity/challenge essay? I'm thrown off by them including the "distanced traveled" part - it's making me think whatever I write about has to be more encompassing of long-spanning life challenge/adversity.

Why is everyone freaking out about the cell bio prereq? Just indicate you'll take it in the future and actually do so if you're accepted.

 

[mannatee22]

any idea on how big a role Casper plays?

Has anyone still not received this secondary?

are you in-state? I heard they verify instate differently?

 

[disco8]

For the clinical activities descriptions (which have no character limit), are you just using your descriptions from your primary? Or writing something different

 

[happy_carrot]

are you in-state? I heard they verify instate differently?

I am in-state and still haven't received a secondary, do you know what their process is?

 

[rosiemo]

I don't know their process I have just heard that its different for instate through word of mouth. If you look at MSAR they only take ~30 people instate to make up their class of 140. This makes me believe, because of the very few instate kids they take, they put those applications through a different review process. I'm not sure but I think a lot of people haven't gotten in-state secondaries yet. It's super stressful.

they say in the description to write something different: " focus on detailing the specific knowledge, skills, and abilities you learned and applied during these experiences"

+1 oos secondary finally

 

[The Deep]

[KingKiller21]

+1 OOS, do you guys think (Gen Bio - Cell) would qualify as a Cell Bio class?

 

[findingdory]

+1 OOS finally!

 

[stew_md]

+1 OOS, does anyone know how they precisely define "cell biology" as a pre-requisite? One of the biology classes I took in the general biology series was called "Cellular Biology for Majors". Would that count?

Anyone know if AP credit can be used for the English requirement?

 

[futuredoc11111]

Anyone know if AP credit can be used for the English requirement?

I emailed admissions. Their response: "To meet the English Composition requirement, applicants are asked to have completed 2 courses of writing-intensive work at their undergraduate institution. The coursework can come from any discipline, does not need to be exclusively from an English department, and cannot come from AP credit. We ask that you reference the course descriptions for each course you will list to ensure that it explicitly states that it is writing intensive."

Is it even worth submitting the secondary for Rush with no ties and low service? About 250 paid clinical hours and 200 clinical volunteer hours? Don't really waste $100 if I have no shot at getting accepted.

 

[snflst]

Does anyone know if we can just do bullet points for the clinical activities descriptions.

They may screen you out without any non-clinical community service hours

Is there a character limit for the descriptions? Also, for activities still going on, what are you putting for the end date?

I transmitted day 1 on 5/28 :/

 

[FlyingJit]

Are the 2 optional essays truly optional or is it recommended to do them?

 

[medandcats23]

Has anyone put scribing for question 7? I'm not sure if it would count or not since it's primarily observing, but there is some interaction with patients/the care process.

I did. Scribing is valid.

 

[ohheymay]

[AttemptingPreMed]

is casper required to submit to RUSH?

 

[groundhog21]

OOS secondary received 7/30, sent primary 7/26

 

[The Deep]

Have they started sending out II yet?

 

[jggarc]

I wasn't aware of the Cell Biology requirement but I do have two courses that MAY fulfill.
1) Molecular Biology: not sure if that's the same?
2) DNA to Organisms: which on the description says "Cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, and the biology of organ systems. Covers concepts of building blocks (nucleotides, amino acids, and cells) and of information flow (DNA to proteins, receptors to nuclei, the blood to distant organs, and DNA to offspring)."

Would one of these two work?
