This pic is on Rochester's MD/MBA page. I thought it was too funny to not post. Apparently, Rochester accepts X-Men.
Hahaha, time to sprinkle some radiation on myself to gain superpowers.

LOL. This would be funnier if it was on the NYMC website. Westchester is where the X-Men live.

I'm sure they help, but can't do anything about them now. I wouldn't worry about it, I'm pretty sure most people are in the 0-2 range.
Interview invites could be coming as soon as next week according to last year's thread, though more likely the week after that.
I didn't check one of the boxes I intended, but I hardly think it matters if you have a strong application.

Of all the schoolsI applied to I think this would be one of the biggest "fits" for me.
you just made next week very nervous for me..
i had only one check but what i checked i feel like is pretty common among applicants so i don't think it's that significant
I only had two, I know as far as their undergraduate program is concerned Rochester values diversity and those questions seem to fall into that value set
Yea, i don't think checking lots of boxes is that important. I think it would be unusual for someone to check all of them since they are pretty different activities and unless you are not a traditional applicant and spent your life with a Rochester secondary checklist then they probably expect most people to check only 1 or 0. I'm sure the people that didn't check any boxes spent their time doing other worthwhile activities that play to their interests.
I submitted Rochester's secondary application today. It's nice not to have essays, but there's nowhere to put down what I'm doing this year during my year off. I was wondering if there was any way to let the school know what I'm doing right now (full-time medical scribe).

Just received their brochure in the mail. Anyone know why they send these out? All the info is on their website.
So they can convince you to give them another 70 bucks for their secondary.
So true
I believe you can upload attachments, or at least email their office with an update letter.
thanks for the quick reply. i'm sorry but i can't find where i can upload attachments anywhere
Yeah sorry I was on my phone and couldn't check, figured I'd tell you to.
I'd suggest sending them an email, or better yet calling them and asking if it's appropriate.
looks like they sent out interview invites today

Did you talk to admissions? Also, any idea if they send II's through snail mail, or email?
is this something u heard or did u actually get one
Concurring with the rest of people, how do you know? Is it via snail mail? It would be odd if invites went out and no one has posted on SDN.
Remember, it ain't over until the rejection letter arrives.
👍

I received an email, if not there then there's always a possibility it could show up on your portal
congrats. mind telling us when you were complete?

Maybe so early bc your IS. I'm guessing by the name. If only one person on sdn got an II then this a historic moment folks.
According to last year's thread, Rochester sent out interview invites July 27th via email 
7/6, I got it in right before the system crashed
I was complete on 7/18, nothing here yet.
I seriously doubt this, give it a few hours guys. But if it is a first I'll take it
You're all making me neurotic. I'm going to go play the Sims and live the life of a world-renowned surgeon.

Upvotes for you.
Thanks, I'm honestly surprised no one else from SDN has (based upon this thread thus far). From the looks of their portal ~40 seats were available over August/Sept at that moment. I'm experiencing similar feelings for other schools, so I totally understand.

I doubt it has anything to do with his pre-crash app. Look at his MCAT lol

This is true lol. did not notice that.
Yeah so I'm not worried. Hopefully all the 40 MCATers are out of the system now so all us normal people are up next 😉
Sorry if I'm completely oblivious but what exactly is "portal"?
Video game created by Valve.
"The game primarily comprises a series of puzzles that must be solved by teleporting the player's character and simple objects using "the handheld portal device", a device that can create inter-spatial portals between two flat planes."
LOL no.
Its the name for Rochester's secondary application program. The thing you log into.
You're my hero.
But, yeah, a lot of places refer to their online access as a "portal."
