Rejected this morning. Good luck to everyone else still in the running and congrats on all the recent acceptances!
Waiting patiently for my rejection... swing the axe already Rochester.
With all these rejections before and after my completion date, I am trying to figure out of that is good news, or if I just happen to be next in line.![]()

I assume the guy whose job it is to send the rejection email has gone home for the night and will pick up where he left off tomorrow![]()
Rejected pre-interview. Complete 7/9/13. OOS, 3.84, 37.
Good luck to everyone still in the running!
Rejected, 3.86, 38, OOS.
Has anyone received any interview invitations recently? If you have, when were you complete? There seemed to have been a wave of interviews in early September, but since then, I haven't seen anyone else talk about them.
That's really surprising that Rochester rejects such high stat people outright....
I'm starting to get worried since I'm interested in applying there next cycle.

I'm under the impression (after interviewing there) that Rochester is looking for a specific type of applicant.
After interviewing here and getting waitlisted, I also think Rochester is trying to accept a certain type of applicant. Rochester is known as the "liberal arts school" of medical schools and it has a heavy emphasis on the connection between humanities and medicine, bioethics, and global opportunities, all things you would see in a LAC. It even has numerous medical humanities seminars that I think is unique to this school.
Personally, coming from a school that's the polar opposite of liberal arts/humanities, I think part of their reason for my waitlist is that their mission and my values don't really fit well together.

II this morning!
Rejected pre-interview 10/28
Complete: 09/24/13.
3.73, 31, OOS, URM
Sorry to hear this...did u just now get an email? Trying to tell if another wave of rejections is coming today :/
Are the rejections coming via email?
when were you complete?rejected. OOS 3.8/36. :\
September 29th. At least Rochester wasn't in my top 10 (nothing against Rochester--it just doesn't have a school of public health.)when were you complete?
I received a complete email. Not sure whether it shows on the app, haven't checked...Does Rochester send a complete email? When you go to the app it shows complete on there?
I was complete before some of these and haven't heard anything either way. Wondering if they are waiting on something.
Rejected this morning pre-interview, complete 9-17, 3.7 gpa, 40 mcat, UR undergrad, worked at their hospital for over a year doing direct patient care.
Pretty disappointed. I was hoping they'd at least honor the time and money I've given them with a shot at an interview, and perhaps a waitlist spot. Oh well.
Wow, well with those numbers you are probably doing well regardless. I always thought UR was generous with giving MD interviews to its undergrads, but stingy with giving out acceptances to them.
Hi everyone,
First time posting here so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong. This school is definitely a reach for me and my first choice. I am in a strange situation as I have not been rejected or heard anything back, and even though all of my letters and secondary have been submitted since early August, I did not receive a complete email until early October. I have tried calling them numerous times but unfortunately have not been able to reach anyone to ask about the really late complete date. Since I have not yet received a rejection, I am hoping that means I still have a shot in reaching out to them with a letter of interest. Can anyone comment on whether Rochester, and esp. MSTP admissions, is receptive to letters of interest and additional letters of recommendations (from my postbac PI).
Sorry to hear about all the rejections as of lately. Best of luck to everyone, even if Rochester was not meant to be this app cycle!
