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! :)
Here's the comment that I was remembering from the Rush Gem Spring 2017 Cohort thread -->

I am so anxious for Friday! I can't wait! I recently received an email from Rush to finish filling out the financial aid forms. I thought this meant I got accepted, so I called them yesterday and they said they were unable to check my acceptance status. They said they still send out reminders to students who are still being considered. They got my hopes up, now just 25 more hours to go until the verdict!
