Rush GEM Fall 2021

Hi, that's great! How did your interview go? Was it in person? 

Hello, I applied just a few days ago for fall 21.  I still waiting to hear back from Rush. How did your interview go?

Interviews take place in February after application deadline is closed, so still waiting! 

Hello, I applied for the Fall 2021 cohort as well. I submitted in December and am also waiting for an interview invite. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

I have applied as well and waiting to set an interview. Can I ask If any one had healthcare experience? also what was your GPA? 

I heard they give a lot of interviews, but I am not sure.

I had a 4.0 prereq GPA, a 3.8 undergrad GPA, and my healthcare experience is as a volunteer doula (labor/childbirth "coach") (my ultimate goal is to become a certified nurse-midwife). 

Thats awesome! my prereq are around 3.40 and my overall is at 3.28. However, I have not finished my degree. I will be done in the Summer. Do you know any one who has applied in the past? 

I have been working as a Certified

nurse assistant since last year.

Hi everyone! I applied on 1/11 and was invited to interview 1/15. Does anybody know if it matters when you sign up to interview (I.e., first date vs. last)? I assume it doesn't matter and they will do a pooled review after all interviews are complete, but I'm not sure. 

I'm also curious about the acceptance rate if anyone has any info! I could only find an overall acceptance rate for rush (~50%). 

I have a 4.0 prereq GPA, 3.93 Master's GPA, and 3.3 undergrad GPA in psychology. I have a few years of full time clinical research experience. 

@gradentry2021 congrats on the first round! That's pretty quick turnaround, I'm still waiting for a response. I did email Meghan but got an auto reply that it would take ~48 hours for a response. 

I know with job interviews, an earlier interview is typically better however I agree that results could be pooled. I couldn't find any specific acceptance rate info either, other than the general one you posted. 

I have a 4.0 prereq, 4.0 Masters, 3.3 undergrad, no prior healthcare experience as I'm a true career changer - leaving a prior industry to join healthcare. 

Hey Everyone,

I applied in December and I received my interview email shortly after. Wishing you guys the best, hoping see you all

Interview is February 5! will anyone be attending

the info session the 3rd? 

@wgreguol My interview is also on the 5th. Good luck!!  I'm planning to attend the info session on the 3rd.

Anyone applying to Rush for the second time? If so, who did you interview with and how did your interview go?
