I was wondering for anyone who interviewed and got into RUSH, how did you feel coming out of your interviews? I feel meh compared to others I've had and am super nervous about the result. (This is my top choice)

Rest assured that Rush selects people for interview with the intention of accepting them, and they do, close to like 80% this year per someone I know on the committee. You’d have to give off a red flag for them to reject you. Trust the process

Still waiting for an II from them 🙁

I got the "next stage" email in october and the "cleared the review process" email in January, but have yet to receive an II or R. Wondering if there's still a chance

After my interview I felt that I could see myself being rejected, waitlisted, or accepted. How you feel won't necessarily correlate with the outcome.

Yeah, but it doesn't seem to be a large amount going out. They're sprinkling out rejections today, and then probably gonna hit us with a huge wave tomorrow
i can confirm that is probably true, I got rejected last year on 02/14/25, which is the equivalent of tomorrow this year
 
Did anyone that got rejected today receive the Jan email of "clearing the review stage" (I got it and haven't been rejected yet) Wondering if that email is like a shield? If y'all did, then i guess I'll be joining y'all soon in the next rejection wave, probably tomorrow, like some are saying.

Just got rejected and I got that email in January. Like mentioned before, it’s like trying to decipher the cosmos 🤷‍♀️

+1 Pre-II R just now, got the "congrats you're being reviewed again" in October and "still in review" in January just as an FYI for everyone! Hope others in this thread survive the wave and get the II they're hoping for 😀
yeah I'm probably getting axed this afternoon then. I got both those emails and i sent letters in. really sucks because they were my only chance.
