Hi all! I sent my application to RUSH in early September but haven't gotten anything from them besides a confirmation that they received my application. Has anyone heard back from RUSH at all regarding interviews?

Hi!
I just got an interview confirmation for late November. I am a little worried because it is 3 hours long! Anyone else in the same boat?

Hello,
Yes! I am in the same boat. I think a large portion of the interview will be informational, because I went to another 3 hour one and that's how it was structured. The thing that makes me nervous is the group interview part! Good luck 🙂

May I ask when you received the info packet? Also kinda wonder if there was useful information in the packet? I haven't got anything since I submitted my application!

Hi harleyleo!

I would email them if I were you. I believe they’ve either concluded or will be concluding their interview process soon!

Good luck!

I think the info packet was given out during/after one of their information sessions. I missed them, but I connected with someone at admissions who sent it over to me. I got an invitation to interview about 2 weeks after I submitted my application in December. Their last interview date (don't quote me on this) is next week.

My stats aren’t great but not horrible. 3.0 gpa and pre req gpa. GRE about 285 with writing at 4.5. But I have over 200 shadowing hours and I also had a job as a rehab tech. I also retook classes to boost my pre req grades to A’s

good enough to land an interview, give yourself credit ! Congrats on getting this far. Is it a top school for you?

Hi! Do you know how many people are in the FB group? I have an interview next week and just want an idea of how many potential seats are left in the program.

based off one of my recent emails from RUSH and the attached students added, it looks like so far maybe about 25-26 students are already confirmed but there's other people who have been granted acceptance who haven't put down a deposit yet who isn't included in that number. Good luck!

Also, do you have any tips for the interview? I know other people have mentioned questions like "Why Rush and why OT" but was wondering if you have any insight!

For me the interview was super chill. This is probably what everyone is telling you but just sell yourself. I was freaking out when I did my first one for a different school but they are trying to make you choose their school just as much as you are trying to sell yourself so dont forget that!
