2014-2015 University of Rochester Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Out of curiosity since this is one of my dream schools, what are the chances of acceptance if you received an interview here? Do they accept around 1/3 they interview or is it far less?
 
Can anyone who has interviewed here offer me some advice on what the earliest flight you can comfortably make would be after the interview day? Is anything after around 6 pm safe? Thanks!

The school is right across the river from the airport, so if you have a reliable cab or rental car, you could definitely make it there by 6. My gut says I was done by 4 at the latest, you could make it to the airport in 10 minutes from the campus.

The hospital has an agreement with a cab company -- admissions will call a cab for you (reasonable rate too); it was there very quickly in my experience. 6 should be feasible (albeit rushed) even if you end a bit after 4.
 
Just got rejected. Not surprising- this is the first email I've gotten from them in a little over 6 months. Good luck all!!
 
Anyone (current student or others) have any idea if its possible to not attend lecture here and still do well (since UR does not record lectures)? This is literally the only shortcoming of UR for me, I love everything else about the school.
 
Hi everybody,
congradulation for those who got accepted and good luck for the rest. Does anyone know anything about the AEGD program at EIOH for international student?! Thanx for help!!
 
Do acceptances/waitlist/rejections post-Interview come via email or regular mail? And does it usually take 6-8 weeks, or do they sometimes come sooner?

Acceptances are via email! Mine took 6 weeks but that's because I had to wait until October 15.
 
Does anyone know what information the interviewers have of you before your interview?

They should just have the pre-interview questions you fill out after you get the interview invitation.
 
so glad you guys are hearing back. that means early January dates are that much closer to hearing! 🙂
 
Accepted today by email, although I'm living in Mexico so maybe they tried to call one of my NY phones. Interviewed 12/1.
 
Is there already a Facebook group for accepted students?
 
why's this thread so quiet?! approaching a month since my interview. seems like they tend to send decisions just under a month post-interview. hoping I hear soon! love this place

Anyone have an answer to this? I've talked with a few UR med students and they didn't know. Thanks!

Pure speculation, but I'd guess they have to accept ~200-300 (2-3 x ~100 seats) to fill the class. I think they interview about 650? So 250/650 ~= 38%. I'm just going off numbers adcoms on this site have mentioned in the past.

Thanks! That seems reasonable.

According to US News and Review last year they interviewed 641 people and accepted 268. For out of state students they interviewed 442 ans accepted 183. I'm sure it will be similar this year unless someone interviewed and they said it would be different.

Damn, pretty close.
 
Storph said:
Ya, you were about as close as you can get without actually looking it up lol. I'm silly for paying for the membership though.

Nah, I strongly considered getting it.
 
Withdrawing from an early march interview. This is such a wonderful school...but good luck to those waiting to hear back!
 
any January interview dates hear back yet? I thought I'd hopefully hear this week but didn't happen.

I've heard that the top 10% get a Dean's letter.

The wait until there's any waitlist movement in excruciating!
Click to expand...
Any idea of when the wait list will start to move? Are they still interviewing?
 
Interviewed in January, was given the thumbs up already. But I'm pretty sure my interviewers were able to get back to the admissions board fairly promptly. This may not be the case for your interviewers.

When in January? And when did you find out? Stats?
 
DrDreaming said:
For the sake of anonymity: the third week of Jan, found out last week, LizzyM 70+ but highly doubt that had anything to do with it as other people had higher stats and didn't fare well.

Woah, I interviewed the second week of January and haven't heard anything yet...

Do you consider the 12th-16th as the third week of January or the 19th-23rd?

Also what day did you find out last week?

Sorry I interviewed during the week of the 19th-23rd and still haven't heard back yet. I've noticed through SDN that Rochester tends to get back to you in 3-5 weeks if they accept you and longer if they don't.

Plus I'm being anxious and neurotic lol

What's the SEM for that? I interviewed this month, and it would be great to know when to expect news.

Sorry what does SEM mean? The dean at the interview said it takes them 6-8 weeks during his morning presentation, (I think he may have said 4-6 weeks though) but from what I have noticed they seem to accept students much quicker than that. I've looked through this year and last year's threads and that is the trend I noticed

standard error of the mean.
 
Also interviewed in jan and waiting to hear back. Historically it seems that feedback goes out towards 3-4th week of the month so I guess we'd expect news this coming week? Congrats on the acceptance!!!
