Regular Decision vs Early Action Acceptance Rates
Historical Acceptance Rates
Rush University's overall acceptance rate for the application year 2023 was 4.0%, down from 5.0% in 2022, with 12,943 applicants and 1,564 accepted. The acceptance rate has fluctuated between 4.0% and 5.0% over the past five years, remaining consistent in 2021 at 4.0%, while 2020 and 2019 each had a rate of 5.0%. With a steady increase in application numbers—from 11,501 in 2019 to 12,943 in 2023—Rush University is becoming increasingly selective. The historical trend reflects a tightening competition for applicants striving for admission.
Wait List Acceptance Rate
Rush University's wait list acceptance rates are currently not provided for the application years. The historical data from 2020 to 2023 also lacks specific figures for students offered and accepted from the wait list, leading to a 0% acceptance rate for this period since no admissions were recorded. As such, there is no discernible trend or data to analyze, highlighting the uncertainty and variability of the wait list process at Rush.
Transfer Acceptance Rate
Rush University's transfer acceptance rate data is currently unavailable, as no figures are provided for the application years from 2021 to 2023. Historical data on the number of applicants and those accepted is also not disclosed, making it difficult to analyze trends over this period. Additionally, the average GPA of transferring students is not specified. This lack of information suggests that potential transfer applicants should look for alternate indicators or reach out to the admissions office for more insight.
