Applying here from MI. One of my two dream schools for fit. My stats are a little low for them, probably, but I'm *really* hoping for a chance.

One of my good friends is starting here in the fall. She loved the school and curriculum, as well as the students she interviewed and met at second look. Sounds like the surrounding area is pretty suburban (she's moving from Boston, sounds like a big change of pace from what she's said). I just applied and am hoping to get to check the school out myself!
Also in my gmail spam folder. Thanks for the heads up!
Can someone post the questions?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I'm verified, but I don't see anything in my spam folder :/
me neither.... my stats weren't great... Did i get screened out???/
I'm wondering the same thing. I am also verified, but my MCAT is average and my GPA is above average... makes me nervous though!
same here, good GPA, bad mcat....

Another without a secondary yet -- average MCAT (maybe lower for them) and above average GPA -- and really hoping I wasn't screened out or anything.
U of R doesn't screen. Most schools just send out their secondaries in batches to avoid overloading their servers/getting all of them at once. Give it a few business days before you panic.
Yeah, I am verified and have not received a secondary yet.
+2
Rochester is seriously *UP* there on apparent fit too so I'm really hoping for a secondary. I've also been verified since before the initial transmission of info.
Me. Hopefully we're in the next batch!
I called today and they said they never sent one and I am coming up. Verified and designated U of R since 6/13
Also complete this morning.
Not sure if this is well-known, but I appreciated that the email that told me I was complete specified how they view multiple MCAT scores:
Please note that if you either have taken or took multiple MCAT exams, Rochester will not average the scores. For review of your application, the Admissions Committee will use the highest exam score.
Good to know!

could be the same problem pritzker had.
Just received secondary from Rochester at 2 pm. I use gmail and the email was in my spam folder. Best wishes!

Ah I don't have a secondary application yet either. I've applied to AMCAS the first date possible. Stressing me out. But I am glad many other people are having problems too.
Just got mine. Call them.
Finally got this secondary!
Submitted! Easiest secondary ever, if only every other school learned a lesson from Rochester!

Gosh darnit gmail. I got mine on 7/2 and didn't find it until now. Thanks for the heads up about the spam folder though.
does anyone know why they asked the question about being out of the country in the secondary?
I thought that was odd too. I'm thinking maybe they mean being outside of the country for an extended period of time that would effect interviews, such as being stationed in another country with the military or Peace Corps or something.
Thats what I was thinking too... I'm doing my Masters in Canada, but that won't affect my ability to interview since I'm still driving distance from the University - I put the period that I will be out of the country nonetheless. I just thought it was odd.

What exactly are the "few questions"? Anyone mind posting for those of us who are still waiting to be verified? Also, the character limits for these questions. Thanks!
This is my dream school
Yeah, just your typical brochure. Nice of them to send it out though, they have an impressive program.
