Interview invite today. I was complete about a week ago. 34/3.6/3.61

 

[impact2d]

I know it's late in the cycle, but I decided to apply two days ago. My MCAT is average for the school and my GPA is in their 90th percentile. Almost all of the other schools I applied to seemed to send me secondaries within 24 hours. Even the one's that pre-screen have been pretty fast. This schools is quickly becoming my top choice but it seems like everyone on this board was complete months ago. Has anyone applied in august and received a secondary, because I still haven't.

 

[basedbear]

Yes I added Rochester sort of late and got it very fast

 

[Heathernct]

Me too. I added it second week of August and got it two days later.

Can't use binary on SDN, the forum splits up text.

 

[jhc1991]

does anyone know what days they do interviews on?

 

[impact2d]

I'm nervous that I submitted o. The 23rd and still no secondary. I don't think they screen, and even if they did I should be fine. Most people got theory secondaries within 48hrs- I hate the waiting game 🙄

It's the weekend. Give it another day or so.

 

[impact2d]

Wow, autocorrect murdered my last post lol. Hopefully you're right and the weekend caused a delay.

Is anyone else interviewing on 9/7? I'm flying in the day before; would anyone like to meet up and explore/look around the city a little bit?

Relax, Drexel hasn't sent me a secondary yet even though my primary was verified 08/09

 

[DokDakotaDok]

Been verified and submitted here since July, I really hope they didn't overlook me!

 

[med144]

hey what hotel is closest to University’s School of Medicine and Dentistry, Offices for Medical Education?? Any within walking distance?

 

[IRASNA]

I was complete 7/26. Silent rejection or do they hold on to the apps for a bit and review some of them later? Hopefully it's the latter...

[Muhlgrad11]

I have responded to the essays in preparation for my interview but when I hit submit nothing happened. I have since logged out and logged back in and my essays are still there but I can edit them and the submit button is still present. Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas of what to do? I am planning on calling the school tomorrow but today is one week before my interview so I am getting a little worried.

I've been complete since 7/15, stats and ECs put me a couple std of devs above URochester, so who knows. They also don't seem to go much in order.

Update: I called admissions and they did receive my essays. Not sure why I can still edit or why the submit button can still be clicked but they got my essays when I submitted them on saturday.

Can't you use mapquest?

 

[writergirl333]

complete since 8/11... still says under review... is that what people have been experiencing in terms of timing, or should I 'get the hint'!?

 

[Sandstorm]

🙁

Do they do silent rejections or real rejections?

I think they dont do a ton of rejecting early on, if you look at last years thread we started seeing it in maybe early nov? Not bad news bc it means you're still in the running.

 

[Sandstorm]

+1 every time I see some people got II I assume silent rejection and then take out my rage on battlefield 3.

Incorrect. I interviewed with people towards the end of the interview cycle that were complete at the beginning of the cycle where as I submitted right before deadline. We are now classmates. Hang in there!

 

[Sandstorm]

I think I remember that last year (or a few years ago) they were asking interviewees to write an essay during the interview. I may be incorrect though - it could have been another school.

Buffalo has you do this.

Rochester did blind interviews, so they did not see your app in advance. Most of my interview was off my pre-interview essays, which is the part of your app the interviewers do receive before interviewing you. If you write it in these essays, be prepared to talk about it.

Can any current students speak to the weather? More specifically how much snow you get and how this can affect getting to class, etc.?

I have lived in Rochester my entire life and I will tell you that we do get a lot of snow. Besides last year's freak winter where we only got around 50 inches, we usually end up with 150+ inches. I can't speak about classes though, as I am not yet a student here. Hoping to be though!

 

[BecksTriad]

Does anyone know if Rochester has sent any rejections?
