OregonSLP Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 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?
Procaffeination Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Have you received the supplemental application invite?

Procaffeination Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Good! I'm assuming you were one of the people who posted on the "admission results" page, too! I've talked to a current student in their program and she didn't say anything like that! She said she loved it because it's very interdisciplinary and challenging which will prepare her well for the future. I never heard anything like what you've mentioned about their program...Mind sharing some posts/articles?

Hopefully just the bad experience of a few students though.
