Hi, anyone else applied to the Rush GEM program for Spring 2018 yet? I know the deadline isn't until August but I had all of my items completed so I figured why not?
Question - does everyone who meets their minimum requirements get invited for the interview or do they actually screen the applicants before they invite them for the interview?
I would be curious to know how many people get accepted if they have limited "hands-on" experience. I have all of my pre-reqs completed and my gpa is pretty good 3.8 but I have no experience in the clinical setting. I wonder how experience or lack there of is looked at when in consideration for the program. Any input would be greatly appreciated! :)
Good luck to you as well :) I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at First Look. I'm sure we'll have name tags so feel free to say hi to Katie Hall if you see me!
I am flying out Thursday from San Diego to interview Friday and will be at first look which btw in other threads I read is a casual event. Is anyone else flying in??
I will be at the first look! Michelle M. is me- my interview is on Monday. I'm local, so I'm not flying in. But let me know if you need any help choosing things to do/see/stay MFord
Thank you Michelle and Agnes! My name is Mike Gerstel btw. So far I have booked a place on airbnb in logan square, but will definitely be looking forward to exploring the city some. It has been 8 years since my last stay in Chicago and both times in the tail end of winter... So this will be a nice change of pace haha.
