Rush University GEM Program Spring 2023

Hi! I had my interview Monday morning and it went really well! It was very laid back and it was more of a conversation about Rush and why I choose the school. My interview went a little over 30 minutes because we had great conversation. I made sure to send a thank you email to my interviewer and she sent me some feedback which made me feel very confident about my application. I also emailed Meghan O’Malley, the admissions specialist and I was told we would find out about their decision on October 7th, 2022. Let me know how everyone else’s interviews went and good luck to all!

Had my interview for the GEM program last week which I think went well and next week I have a second interview for the direct entry pathway portion of my application! Eager to hear a decision coming up on October 7!

Acceptance notices are going out today. I was accepted! Would love to connect to anyone that plans to attend.

I have my interview on Monday for the Spring start! Although, I'm thinking strongly about reapplying for the Fall cohort to allow myself more time to save money given that they recommend not working. One of the past interview questions said it's recommended not to work the first two terms/semesters. Is that correct? Do students often take advantage of working after those two?

I was just accepted to Rush for the Spring though I think I'll reapply for the Fall '23 start. I was also accepted into DePaul. Did anyone else pick Rush over DePaul's MENP program? Why? I think they're quite similar though I see more recent research for Rush that I'm interested in and saw from 2013 on this site that it's a plus that Rush is an MSN and hospital-based so clinicals are easier whereas DePaul is a generalist program and sometimes difficult with clinicals scheduling.
