2016-2017 University of Rochester Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Rejected just now pre II, complete early August
 
Rejected, complete 8/3. I know someone said this ealier but definitely not a fan of their letter lol. Super long shot for me though, so not even upset. Good luck yall!!
 
Pre-II rejection today. Complete mid-July. Good luck to everyone else that survived today.
 
Just withdrew. I don't want your patronizing rejection letter, Rochester! 😛

But in all seriousness, it's a great school, and this was a tough decision, but hopefully it allows them to move through applications a little more quickly, and give IIs to those who survived the mass rejection today! Good luck everyone!
 
This is probably a dumb question but are the emails trickling out or sent en mass? The anticipation is killing me.

I was wondering the same thing lol!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking that
 
Also part of the bloodbath today, rejected pre-II, complete 6/27, took them long enough haha. I agree that the e-mail was pretty lousy.
 
Rejected via email. Oh well, haters gonna hate 🙄
LM ~77, OOS, Complete early July
 
Rejected Today as well -- At least they did it pre-II so I didn't waste money travelling to an interview where they were looking for whatever it is that I don't have!!
 
So if I've heard nothing and was complete in the first few days of August, is that a good thing?

that's what they want us to think for now.... false sense of security.... :nailbiting::nailbiting::nailbiting:
 
Can somebody post the rejection email? I'm curious..

Joining the reject squad. Best of luck to all who still have a chance!
 

I know it's disappointing but cheer up! Rochester is highly selective with a very small class size. I'm sure everyone that was rejected today are highly capable candidates who will receive good news soon 😉. Still early in the cycle!
 
This is weird all the other rejections today were from early-mid July, could they be just churning out all their rejections so far today?

There are a few from June and August as well so that might very well be the case.
 
@ek999 considering that only a fraction of people actually post on SDN, and there were about 50 people saying that they got a rejection, I would imagine at least 500+ rejections sent out today. Probably a whole "maybe" pile, or something like that

I wonder what will happen to the rest of us...
Hopefully they're done rejecting for the day.
 
Says they value people who have gone outside their comfort zone and diverse backgrounds. Has nothing like that on secondary except for a few checkboxes. :bored:

But I'm just salty from work and this tiresome application cycle. (I'm sure I'll delete this eventually)
Don't delete it! You made me chuckle, and I couldn't agree with you more.
Rejected pre-II, also.
 
Waitlisted. Got the email on Wednesday. In-state, born and raised right outside the city. LizzyM ~80. This one stung.
