I have chosen Rush for several reasons - here are a few - the program is affordable, the campus is in the medical district of Chicago, putting you right in the heart of everything, the faculty has already been extremely helpful and quick to respond with all of my prerequisite issues and overall Chicago rocks.
I haven't heard anything and have the same message on the Admissions Decision link. I do know that Emerson does its decision process on a rolling basis through April, so maybe there is still hope.
