+1 to presently reviewing, also got the 15k email in October and have been complete since 07/28!!! idk if avoiding this big R wave was a win or not bc i feel like based on when i was complete i should've heard something by now. no news is good news? #crashingout

Exact same boat, except in October I got the “next stage” email. I have no clue where I stand it’s so annoying and Rush is my absolute dream school I want an II so bad 😭

Looks like we are all waiting this one out.

I’m tired 🫩

 

[johnzhng]

i got this too. i was initially excited but i wonder if that just means we are on hold rn

whatever it is it seems a bit better than the 15k and presently reviewing email.

 

[Suchagoodpersonman]

yea I think that it's a hold too

 

[slippysalamander03]

It is funny how they added this system for transparency and to ease our minds during the process yet we somehow made it into an even more stressful fortune telling event.

It's been entertaining to try and decipher all of these cryptic emails 🤣

 

[slippysalamander03]

What was the exact wording of your email? it seemed different from mine. I also received the other email instead of the 15k apps email in the fall.

October 24th: "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."

January 9th: "The admissions committee is presently reviewing your materials to determine appropriate next steps. Due to the high volume of applications received this cycle, this process takes time. We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure each application receives thorough and thoughtful consideration."

Not sure what any of it means, if anything!

Current M1 here. Has someone made an admitted students GroupMe yet? Would love the link

Does anyone know when Rush stops sending interviews? Is there any hope for those who didn’t hear back at all yet?

I sent an LOCI to them last night that's heavly targeted. I have been in interview consideration since late October ( to my knowledge at least). Would be cruel as hell to be jerked along like this and get rejected.

what is a LOCI? is it just a letter of intent?

 

[Laman_4]

Which life experiences or challenges do you feel most shaped your perspective on diversity, equity, and the kind of physician you want to become?

 

[Laman_4]

Yes.Letter of Continued Interest

what makes you think there will be rejections next? Rush has interviewed in to February before

The email that I got said final decisions would be made in the next couple weeks so end of January timeframe

maybe final decisions about your specific application? or for other people who received that email?

interesting, I just checked my email and it says the COMING weeks, not couple. Unusual that they would have two versions of the email at this point,

 

[Suchagoodpersonman]

i think she was just paraphrasing

+1 OOS A!!! :') Interviewed on 1/7. Does anyone know if there's an admitted students GroupMe or Facebook group and could DM me the link?

 

[Naayfus]

Hey, bit out of the loop but got this email on 1/12. What should I make of it? Should I send any update letters or anything to move me along in the queue?

"We are writing to provide an update on your application status. Your application materials have cleared the review stage and remain under active consideration within our process.

Final determinations, including possible interview invitation, will be made in the coming weeks. We appreciate your patience as we complete our review."

congrats!! also OOS A🙂) interviewed 1/7. is there an admitted student group chat?

I guess this is a question for people who have interviewed but they did share the names of the people who will be interviewing me. Should I look them up and read through their clinical bios/linkedin to ask them questions curated to their specialty or interests? Not trying to creep on people but I also don't know a specific reason for Rush to release the names of those who are interviewing you.

They share the names, but I don’t think it is at all necessary. The point of the interview is for them to learn things about you not for you to ask them questions about themselves. But that’s just my opinion

I did. just to get a understanding of who I'm meeting with. but i didn't actually ask them anything regarding that or formulate my respond to it. they want you to be you! you got this!!!
