Today marks a few days over a month has anyone else not heard back? I'm in the same boat except I received that email on July 27th. Have you heard anything?

sarahbellum Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 This week marks 8 weeks since the "complete and ready for review" email I got. Should I contact them or has anyone else been in the same boat and they've just said its still under review? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbingRhino Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I got my email this morning letting me know that I've been accepted! I'm so far beyond excited that I don't even know the right words for it because RFUMS was my top choice. I interviewed on August 25th, and they were right on with their timeline (they told us that we should have our decisions by today). Good luck to everyone else that applied, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted my completed application on June 12th, received my interview invitation on June 20th for the August 25th interview date, and had an admission decision exactly two weeks after the interview (Today, September 8th). cGPA: 2.78 sGPA: 3.86 PCE: 500 hours EMT-B; 6,000 hours ED tech at a Level I trauma center GRE: 162V 155Q 4.0W Extracurriculars: Executive board of rehabilitation careers club at university, exercise physiology tutor, honor society member, former board member of municipal council to encourage job growth in STEM fields for young professionals Just a note on my cGPA - I had a 2.07 after my first attempt at college (2005-2011), but after returning to college to take my EMT certification course in 2014, I took another 100 credit hours including almost all of my science courses and kept up a 4.00 GPA. It was my strong upward trend that helped get me interviews, otherwise that 2.78 would've been a huge dealbreaker for most programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a strong upward trend as well, including a high grad school gpa. you had a better GRE than me, and I was only a scribe so maybe they like EMT and ED tech better. I also think me applying July 3rd was a factor, but I got that 'being held for further review' email, so it's not a rejection. I hope my name turns up when they do this upcoming round of interview invites. I've only received one rejection and an interview waitlist. Otherwise I haven't heard back from any schools since confirming that my file was complete. Still optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I gave out some false information when I said this! When referring back to their website (and last year's forum posts), they interview into February and I believe they sent out interview invites up until early December last year! So don't give up hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjl2888 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Has anyone received interview invites for October or later dates? Anyone that initially received the email "continued consideration" or "held for further review" receive an interview invite for these dates?

I have an interview this Friday and I wanted to see if you had any suggestions for preparing? I haven't done an MMI yet and I'm a little nervous. Any words of wisdom?

ClimbingRhino Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks @Emrose, and good luck on Friday! I'll give you a bit of the advice that I've given to others that have asked. I know you've probably heard this a million times already, but try not to be nervous! Be yourself, know why you're a good fit for Rosalind, and why you think the school is a good fit for you. Also, when you're done with one interviewer in the MMI, move on. That one is done, and you'll be starting over with a clean slate with each station so there's no reason to sweat the small stuff. The interviewers are there to get to know you and see if you'll be a good fit for the cohort that they're building and for the program. You made it to the interview already which is a big accomplishment by itself, so be proud of that, and let your personality shine! Also, if you're in the area the day/night before, I'd highly suggest seeing if some other applicants want to meet up for dinner or something. It'll help you relax and give you at least a couple people that you recognize in the room the next day. There are some decent places near Rosalind in Lake Bluff, and if you head a little closer to Chicago there are a ton of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
