I actually found Loyola and Rush to be similar in many ways. They are different in other ways, but I would say if you like one there is a good chance you will like the other.

BTW I interviewed here yesterday and LOVED it. The mission to help the underserved is real here, not just lip service. The clinical sites are amazing, and the community is so happy and friendly and welcoming. Easily in the running for my top choice.

Totally agree with everything you said. They are very similar, and different at the same time! Hope you get in, sir. Maybe we'll be classmates!

Congrats to everyone above! You all will be absolutely wonderful. I want to echo the sentiment in previous pages of this thread. Rush was genuinely the kindest, most relaxed, and most community-oriented experience I've had. Hoping to hear back today about a final decision! Fingers crossed and incredibly nervous.

Thanks, and were there still a good amount of interview slots left for the rest of the cycle? I completed my secondary early September and would love to interview at Rush!
 
Anyone else waiting for some news today? I interviewed on 11/16 and they were fairly confident they'd be letting us know today (though not a guarantee).

Sorry to hear that hales1120 :( hopefully you'll have better luck elsewhere!

Would you mind sharing your complete date?
 
For those of you that interviewed today 12/7, don't forget your pelvic floor muscles!

It is an inside joke for those of us that interviewed today. Basically one of the faculty members stressed multiple times how important they are in sex and defecation that we should all think about tonight.

I'm obviously not in on the joke, but I really appreciate the laid back attitude and candor of the Rush community. You certainly wouldn't expect to hear jokes like that at other interviews :)

Haha I have no idea - I feel like we went through this in October too.

Haha yupp, I vaguely remember that. I think last time they sent a general update, i never got the email either. I'll take that as a clear indication of my status.

+1, and I got the October one. Is the consensus that everyone gets these emails?
 
For what it's worth, I got the email today but didn't get it the last time it went out in October. Not sure if it means anything...
 
I got the October email and today's but there was one in November I didn't get. Probably has to do with when you submitted, I wouldn't read into it
