I got an email, as well as a phone call the next day. So guess it just depends. Good luck!

I interviewed 9/26. But I know others who interviewed the same day as me heard earlier so it seems like there are batches.

And I received a phone call, no email notification, so I guess they're mixing that up as well.

Best of luck to you all!

Anyone know how much activity they usually have from the waitlist?

Anyone know how much activity they usually have from the waitlist?

This was basically my first place, waitlisted today, so I'd like to know this too...

 

[Treesop]

I interviewed late September and still haven't heard anything yet. Is this silence foreshadowing a rejection?

 

[JediMasterCrumb]

I just withdrew my acceptance.... hopefully one of you gets it!

 

[centrigeugle]

Been complete for 8 weeks now - no word of any kind.

Should I assume they're passed me by? Seemed like the interviews have dried up.

 

[MagnoliaWine]

Just got an interview invite today. 🙂

They're still coming out it seems, have faith!

 

[R1MD]

Thanks Magnolia...when were you complete?

Me too! I added Rochester later in the cycle after reading positive things about it, so I was complete 9/26.

Good luck all!

 

[MagnoliaWine]

Thanks Magnolia...when were you complete?

9/7, or thereabouts.

Interview Invite! Accidentally yelled out with glee in the middle of the class I was TAing (Problems with having constant access to your email through smart phones...)

33, 3.99, OOS, complete 8/16

Congrats! I was complete the same day, but I have yet to hear from them. I'm getting pretty anxious now - when exactly did you hear from them?

I heard from them today (Oct 24) around noon.

Hang in there! Hope some good news comes your way soon 🙂

We definitely seem to always have some, but not a ton. It's really hard to say and totally depends on the year... which I know is a terrible answer! It's just one of those questions that never has a great answer.

To the above and everyone else asking a similar question... I know it is easier said than done, but please, don't assume anything. n=1 but I believe I was complete early September when I applied and I did not hear back until the last day of November. Medical school applications (and now residency applications for me) are a hurry up and wait kind of thing. These things make you feel uneasy, but there's nothing you can do about it but wait.

See doctors, staff, and patients at Highland Hospital dance for Breast Cancer awareness..

http://pinkglovedance.com/competition/entry-124

Highland Hospital is a member of the University of Rochester Medical Center system, and is where the family medicine program admits, and where surgery, medicine, neurology, and Ob-gyn residents rotate. Many medical students rotate there for 3rd year clerkships (some spend a lot of time there).

Thought this would be nice to share.

ah man I already loved this school on my interview day and this video reminds me why!

 

[WisdomDoc]

Complete since 7/19 and haven't heard anything.

 

[MagnoliaWine]

About how much did people write for the interview essays?

And for the one about interests I want to continue or pursue at Rochester... I'm kind of unsure what kinds of things they mean, like academic or not, etc?

Any tips?

 

[lovecereal]

This is like standing on the train tracks waiting for the train to come.

 

[lalalaaaaaa]

Sorry to hear about all of the rejections, I'm anticipating mine coming soon. When were you all complete?

 

[snikkle]

I was complete early september.

 

[vanquishS]

Recently rejected, complete 8/2. (3.7/33)
Whatever, their loss, already had four interviews...

 

[misc14796]

[Yraqi]

Sorry guys. It stings, I know 🙁

Were you guys all complete in August?

 

[cal2012]

rejection email today...oh well 😀😀😀

good luck to everyone else still in the running!

 

[LittleLuck]

Should I take solace in the fact that i was complete 9/1 and haven't been rejected, or are all these rejections from before September??

 

[Bill Roth]

Complete 7/6 and finally rejected today.

 

[MMPman]

I have been complete since late June and have not heard from them since that time. Does this mean I am on pre-interview hold?

Thanks for the help.

 

[TunaSub]

Rejected!

Complete late July..😉

 

[LeoGer]

Rejected. Rochester is a cold, cold place to live (yes, I'm trying to lessen the pain of a rejection).

 

[centrigeugle]

Rejected. 3.7/36. Bummer.

 

[TunaSub]

Rejected. Rochester is a cold, cold place to live (yes, I'm trying to lessen the pain of a rejection).

Unfathomably I just checked the "how did you react when you got accepted" thread....denial doesn't last long (F that jolly banana in my previous post)

To those who have been rejected--stick with it and good luck elsewhere. To those accepted (and future acceptances)--Congrats! 👍

+1. I'm hoping no news is good news.

 

[chopped1989]

I was complete 8/16 and didn't get a rejection email. Something to look forward to tomorrow I guess...

 

[littlefaster]

Rejected today via e-mail
Complete 8/17
OOS 3.7/35

 

[kpcrew]

rejected
instate 3.6/37

 

[vb1]

Rejected as well. 3.9/33. I don't feel as bad now after seeing the stats of others in the same boat.

 

[Dartmouth1230]

i haven't heard anything either (complete 8/23) so hopefully that's a good thing. it seems like a lot of people were rejected today...

 

[Studly]

Rejected as well, seems like a bloodbath today.

 

[lalalaaaaaa]

I'm scared to check my e-mail today. Especially considering all of the people with great stats that were rejected. I have a feeling that rejection looms in my inbox.

I bet they waited until the Nov 1st to send these out because they didn't want to send rejections on Halloween.

 

[chemistryguy]

Rejected as well, first rejection 🙁
3.75, 34, out of state

 

[R1MD]

Ugh, there are more coming?
