Hello,
Congrats! Can you tell me how the interview went, especially the group interview?
Hi wannabeOT2021! Were applicants asked individual questions during the group interview, or did you have to try to jump in to answer?
Thank you! I’m happy to hear that it was more relaxed than you expected. I feel better now!
Hello! How soon did you hear back from rush with an acceptance? Also will you be attending rush for 2021 ?
Hi harleyleo!
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.
I interview on March 12th and I i submitted mine back in September
Ohh okay! Yeah, I wasn't positive which is why I didn't want anyone to quote me on that haha. Good luck!
Yes it’s one of my top schools so i’m hoping it goes well!!
How did the interview go for you? I had mine back on the 18th, i keep stalking my emails for an acceptance letter.
I dont interview until March 12th! Is it your top school?
That’s so late! I thought they you’ll be done with interviews by February. Good luck ! It’s my top school, I’m from Illinois but also applied to out of state schools as a back up
Hello! Did you ever hear back from Rush with an acceptance ?
I’m interviewing then too!
I don't remember specific questions, but make sure you know why you're choosing Rush and how your skills will make you a good OT. Good luck!
do you mind sharing your stats?
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?
Thanks!! And yes it is a top school for me.
good luck on the interview tmr, correct? Where else have you applied ? Rush is my top choice as well.
I did! As of now I am planning on attending!
YAY! Congrats. I haven't met anyone else that has been accepted. I just put down my deposit and paid for the background check last week.
Same! Im hoping that they will send a groupme link or something so we can all start connecting.
Yes I agree, i'm not on social media besides snapchat so hopefully they can start a group me
they made a facebook group!
dang, so I have to create a facebook page now ? lol
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!
Thank you, and huge congrats to you!!
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!
There is 12 in the group as of now
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!
They might make a groupme idk yet! If I dont see you in there Ill post in here to keep you updated if you want!
Yes please ! Anything important in the facebook group yet ?
nope nobody is really talking, me and this other girl introduced ourselves but other than that its quiet
