Hey good call! I am declining at Columbia, Emerson, UVM, U of Utah, and Northeastern. Still trying to figure out finances for CU Boulder, Rush and UNM. Good luck everybody. The end is near(ish)

Any current/potential students have any insight? I think I’ve narrowed it down to these two!

I emailed the financial aid office about this. They said that they are gradually sending out funding letters so we should expect one in the next few weeks. Hopefully we hear prior to April 15th because that is a huge factor in my decision.

I got an email notifying me that they made a decision and then checked the portal and it was there!

How do you like Boulder as a city? I've heard that it's beautiful but also that the people are pretty homogeneous in terms of interests/lifestyles. Were you able to meet a variety of cool people? I've also heard it's expensive. Did you live off campus - was rent reasonable? Where are good areas to live if you're commuting to/from the university? Also- is having a car necessary or is public transportation pretty good? Thank you thank you!

Hey y'all. What are you guys thinking about Boulder? Have any of you visited the campus or Boulder in general? Still waiting on a few but it's feeling like the front runner for me right now.

Hey all! I just had my Skype Emerson interview which went well! Definitely more like a conversation than an interview and it sounds like they ask different questions to each candidate. However, my internet was so badly that I didn't catch the name of the second interviewer. If anyone has better luck/a better working memory, can you please message me the names of them? I want to send a little follow up email (which has been recommended to me by interviewers) but want to get the names right. THANK YOU1

Has everyone on here been accepted for the 2019 Summer Track, or also Full-Time Fall? Also still waiting to hear!

The above chain was one that concerned me. Hopefully just the bad experience of a few students though.

I have!

Hey all! I may be jumping the gun here because Rush hasn't even sent out acceptances yet, but I have some questions for anyone who is attending/knows anyone who is attending/has a closer connection to the program. Rush has been my top choice for a while now due to the medical emphasis and location. However, I've been hearing a lot of mixed reviews on other forums. People claim that it is over-the-top challenging compared to other programs of the same standing and that too much material is packed into the short terms. Also I just read about an oral exam that many people fail up to two times. Don't get me wrong, I'm prepared for a challenging grad school experience no matter where I go. I just don't want to set my self up for failure & want to enjoy my life during those two years at least somewhat... Has anyone heard/ experienced similar things or did I just hear a few horror stories?

I was also offered an interview! What a surprise. Are you all going to Boston or doing a video interview? Trying to weigh the costs because I'm located in Oregon. Not sure if opting for Skype will hurt my chances or not. CONGRATS ALL!

I also received this email! However, I've been at work all day so have only been able to access it through my phone. Does this supplemental app required any additional writing or documentation? I've just been filling out general information but I don't want to miss anything. I expected there to at least be some short answers.

Hahaha NO. That's a great score.

Congrats! Clarification: Is it rolling admissions? I was under the impression we didn't start hearing back until February!

CONGRATS! That's amazing. Is this for Fall 2019? I didn't know people got accepted this early! I heard February at the earliest.
