Did you also ever receive the email saying you moved forward to the next step?

The last email I got before the rejection was from October and said:

"Thank you for submitting your application to Rush Medical College. The admissions committee is currently assessing your materials to determine the next steps in our evaluation process.

Given that we have received 15,000 applications in this cycle, this stage may require additional time. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we conduct a comprehensive and careful review."

Any thoughts on the type of updates that Rush my value from those who have received II? As well as when interviews might re start?

 

[553medicine]

Also, has anyone heard II recently after the 'additional reviewer' email they sent out in August.

Rush is my top choice school. For those of you who received II or A, was community service/health equity a huge piece of your app? In what ways? For any current students, do they send out a good amount of II post the holidays? Really holding out hope

Health equity research (multiple years as a clinical research coordinator) was a point in my app but I wouldn't say it was the sole focus of my app.

Remember many medical schools interview into January, February, March, even April for a few schools.

Hi y'all! Quick question: would it be a bad sign if I haven't gotten an II from Rush at this point? From what Basalgangla4life said regarding their current class, I'm worried about receiving an II during or after January - February.

There are still months worth of II to go out at Rush and other schools.

seems like the cycle is moving slower this year. I think we'll be seeing alot more interview invites in jan than last cycle

Yes I just came here to say it feels like this cycle has been soooooo slow for them holy moly

yes i meant for all schools, including wayne and albany, not just rush

 

[Hydraulic Gazelle]

pretty sure rush interviewed last year till early to mid march. still plenty of time

They stated during the interview session that they conducted interviews till the end of February last year and plan on doing the same this year. With ~25 students per interview group and ~7 weeks in January and February, assuming 175 more students will receive II (my assumptions, not stated anywhere)?

On Rush’s portal they say “If you have any questions about your status, you may contact the RMC Admissions Office via email.”

I know the advice is generally to not do that but Rush is my absolute top choice and I still haven’t gotten an II or R yet so I’m wondering if anyone has done this or recommends it considering they say that on their portal

I did it and was just told it is still in review.

When was that? Have you heard back since?

Likely pointless. I woudln't bother them with that question. If there is no R or ii then they will without a doubt simply tell you that your application is under review. They can't start telling everyone who emails them or else they will get flooded. Just hang on tight

I sent it last week and got a reply pretty quick but all it said was basically the same thing from October stating im still in review
