Explain? I also appliued to Buffalo and Rochester and have silence despite being above their GPA/MCAT averages. I am from upstate NY so I genuineely care about these two schools.

Maybe because you're not a Knicks or Nets fan?
 
Been in silence since early August. Has Rochester handed out any rejections so far?

lol I grew up a Charlotte Hornets fan, then became a NO Hornets fan, now I am rooting for the Pelicans 😀 I met Patrick Ewing when I was like 6 years old at my school and he wouldn't autograph my little basketball, so I have kinda despised the Knicks ever since. I am on the Nets bandwagon though if they do well this year.

:laugh: Jerk move by Ewing. I admire your loyalty to this team especially with the lack of success they've had in the past several years. Although the Pelicans are starting to look better and better each year especially this upcoming season with the addition of Holiday and Evans. Yeah, the Nets is basically an all star team this year lol
 
Is the admissions office address 415 Elmwood or 601 Elmwood (For interviews)?
 
Haven't heard anything in a while. When do IIs usually get sent out?
 
I'm interviewing next Monday there. My first one.

I got my invite about 1 month after submitting letters.

Sent from my phone.

Well, I'm from the west coast so basically any school within an 8 hour drive is "in the area." 🙂

I sent them one because I was going to be nearby, and I never received a response. It's been like three weeks.

I'm very interested as well. It's at least a good chance to meet potential fellow classmates. I just hope my group doesn't try to one-up each other or something silly.

I interviewed on 9/9 and the group discussion was very laid back and centered on an ethical question. The moderator was a very nice member of the admissions team that didn't take any notes but contributed to the discussion itself. I'm sure it serves some purpose as far as admissions but it is nothing to stress about. Additionally, both of my interviewers were extremely nice and laid back. It was very conversational and didn't really feel like an interview at all.

Thanks for the feedback! That was really helpful and I'm a little less worried now!

No problem, don't worry at all. There were ten of us there that day and all we could talk about by the end of it is how unbelievably friendly everyone is there. Enjoy the day and don't be afraid to ask any questions you have. Good Luck!

That's great to hear! Thanks again!
 
anyone know if we hear back 10/15 for those of us who've interviewed in September? or did admissions say some later date?

Good question. I want to say we'll hear on the 15th, but don't quote me.

I was looking through old threads and it seems like Rochester goes with the after Oct 15 rule. Though hopefully things will be different this year and we'll hear tomorrow!

Oh okay so I guess there will just be a wave of IIs or rejections in the next couple of days?

Oh lol. Sorry about that. I was talking about post-interview decisions.
 
Cambover said:
I should take a look at the old threads. Any idea when we should hear?
Click to expand...

I think in previous years, they've almost always sent decisions on the 16th or the 17th or the next business day after the 15th (it's weird because in almost all of the previous years, the 15th has fallen on a weekend or a Friday).
 
Huge congratulations!!!! Have any other people with interviews earlier than 9/23 not heard yet?? I interviewed very very early- thought it went really well and this is a top choice for me! Sitting anxiously by my phone...

i just got a phone call!!!! IM SO EXCITED IM LITERALLY IN TEARS

:troll:

I don't want to be the person who does this, but to protect the thread, the poster has a questionable posting history. On top of it, I went through previous threads, and in all years, emails were always sent before phone calls were made. Phone calls were also always made the day after sending emails (if there were any phone calls). I highly doubt Rochester would suddenly change their admissions process this year especially when they haven't changed deans or directors.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

I also received a call and offer of acceptance around 4:45pm. Hopefully others will also hear soon. Best of Luck!

So excited!

I'm not gonna fall for this again. Until someone with >100 posts gets an acceptance, Rochester hasn't sent any decisions yet as far as I'm concerned.
 
My secondary was complete on August 25th and I haven't heard a single peep from admissions since then 🙁 Is this normal?

Would it be weird for me to write admissions, professing my love?

September 6th interview. No word yet. I imagine we will all find out soon.
 
^ Probably (or more like hopefully) tomorrow morning by email!

Wow...I never knew Rochester would call? Anyway, my personal opinion, to everyone applying, if you truly are wondering the best idea is not to waste your time looking at old threads or listening to your peers. The best thing to do is to literally call Rochester University and ask the admissions team. I'm sure they'll know 😉
 
Whether or not they were trolls, I just got the call as well! It did come before the email - she said the admissions offer was on its way. Hope everyone else gets good news soon!!
