2023-2024 Chicago Med (Rosalind Franklin)

[LTNLTN]

Found out I got pre-II R'd this cycle through their BMS program ad email. No official email or update to the status portal.

"Thank you, again, for your interest in the Chicago Medical School (CMS) at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFU). Although we were unable to admit you to the Allopathic Medicine program at this time, we believe your credentials are a strong match for our Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) program, which is currently accepting applications for a fall 2024 start."

+1, very confused at first

Members don't see this ad.

I got the same email and I’m still confused. Logged into my portal and didn’t find any Pre II R. I emailed my admissions counselor to ask and she simply responded to check my application portal. But there’s nothing there??? This is a very strange way to reject someone, and with their history of click-bait emails I’m not sure what to believe.

Same situation here. Is it for sure a rejection? If so, that's a ****ty way to communicate it

That’s how you know they’re not worth your time, genuinely disrespectful behavior by a school that clearly doesn’t have their sh** together.

This is major BS … it went to my spam I didn’t even see it til I checked this thread.

 

[shleemz]

OOS II!!!! screaming crying throwing up

edit: complete 8/17

 

[simp4levi]

OOS II, finally one that’s not “YOU’RE INVITED TO OUR OPEN HOUSE”

i had to do a double take LOL

 

[shleemz]

also not seeing where to schedule it on RFUconnect, should I email them?

 

[CompleteTheComeback]

High key predatory behavior from this school, and they can’t even properly communicate rejections. Who is to say you do the masters get a “guaranteed” II and they still reject you lmao

 

[billybob321]

OOS II. I logged onto the portal but I wasn't able to find where to schedule an interview. Also does anyone have any advice?

+1!! Can’t figure out where to schedule either.

 

[Moeman213]

Bruh they dropping iis left and right but no decisions

 

[billybob321]

I'm calling their office rn to see what's going on. This better not be a prank

 

[shleemz]

Thank you!!

 

[billybob321]

My call isn't going through. Does someone else want to call?

 

[shleemz]

mine as well

 

[dbw3]

OOS II today 1/19/2024! Secondary submitted on 7/10/23

 

[lifetimeBenefit53589]

OOS II today 1/19/24!! Submitted 7/9/23!

 

[billybob321]

Were you guys able to schedule an interview?

 

[wafflefriess]

Sigh, submitted 7/19 and still radio silence. I wonder if they’re sending pre-II Rs and interviews in batches. Anyone else in similar position?

 

[lifetimeBenefit53589]

Were you guys able to schedule an interview?

No, I can't find where to schedule in the portal. It seems like others are also having this issue?

 

[med4540]

I also got an OOS II, complete in mid July. I can’t see anywhere to schedule. I have a bad feeling about and it seems kinda fishy. Sorta feeling like it could be a mistake

 

[billybob321]

I swear if this is a prank, I will sue them for emotional damage

 

[shleemz]

okay jk it's available for me now!! go schedule!!

 

[billybob321]

I think given the amount of people posting about II I think this is a glitch.

Mine is working now, took about 30 min for it to update

 

[the-cheesehead]

Sigh, submitted 7/19 and still radio silence. I wonder if they’re sending pre-II Rs and interviews in batches. Anyone else in similar position?

submitted 7/5 and silent here too.

from what I’m seeing I bet we could just show up in the fall and tell them they accepted us and they might believe us

 

[2324applicant]

Did anyone else ask them about the guaranteed interview/rejection email? Still no change to my portal

 

[billybob321]

Jesus. The spots filled up hella fast. I have a slot in early March.

 

[Moeman213]

Are they mass sending iis omg

 

[essdeeenaccount]

Seems like they resolved the portal thing. I saw interview dates all the way through late March

 

[marie909]

Wait does anyone have a link to the portal? I can’t find it in my emails

 

[billybob321]

The spots were booked so fast. I couldn't get a February date.

 

[Tan2597]

OOS II, complete 7/3

All slots for January and February were filled so I registered for an early March slot

 

[billybob321]

Does anyone know what the post II acceptance for OOS is for this school?

 

[MinnaK]

Sigh, submitted 7/19 and still radio silence. I wonder if they’re sending pre-II Rs and interviews in batches. Anyone else in similar position?

Same absolute silence. At this point, I just wanna be notified of my status. I’m so tired.

 

[spicy_lemon76]

just got my pre Ii rejection following the other email. i get it there are a lot of applicants but accidentally sending that one first was bit disrespectful imo

Same boat, quicker to send their ad than the official decision

 

[irishdoc28]

+1 Pre-II R

 

[pinkbarbie]

Yup. Just for the official rejection after seeing the ad email an hour prior. Really distasteful and plays on people’s nerves.

 

[Moeman213]

+1 Pre-II R

When did u get the email now?

 

[marie909]

When were you all complete?

 

[NotADoctor1]

+1. Wouldn't be so bad if the subject line wasn't so clickbaity

 

[premed42568]

Marked completed 8/15 and nothing yet.

 

[irishdoc28]

When did u get the email now?

Like 15 mins ago -ish. It said there was a status update.

 

[deleted1124957]

Marked completed 8/15 and nothing yet.

Submitted 7/10, idk when marked complete, but still silence here.

 

[2324applicant]

I emailed them and they replied to my email with the status update. Complete BS
