I know more goes into the process than just stats, but do I have a chance here with a 3.85+ sGPA and cGPA and 506 MCAT, NY resident???
Your MCAT (506=71st percentile) is just under their 10th percentile of accepted students: 10th is a 29/73rd percentile, median is a 34/514/91st percentile. Idk if the MSAR has updated with the new MCAT scores, these are off my spreadsheet from last summer.
Applying is always worth a shot. You never know if they'll love something in the rest of your profile.
Is there a facebook group for class of 2021 yet??
I wonder when people who interviewed the first week of february will hear back
Feb 3rdWhat was your interview date? Mine was 2/02 but no response yet..
Check your spam folder. My waitlist email ended up there.Dang
In my interview I was told we would hear back in March
anyone else still waiting who interviewed in early february?
I interviewed on the 2nd and no news
Does your waitlist email appear in the communication status page on the portal? Mine has no messages since the post-interview survey
Sounds like good news on the horizon!I interviewed on the first, and got a waitlist a couple weeks back. Above avg stats, so I think they thought I would go elsewhere, but I missed a call from the admissions dean today after sending in an LOI a few days ago... So crossing my fingers, until I can call tomorrow during office hours.
Congrats! How did you find out? Rochester is my top choice, sitting on three waitlists with no acceptances right now so I'm really hoping I get pulled off at some point too.Accepted off waitlist today! Interviewed 2/6

Would you mind sharing what your passion for Rochester is? I was accepted and love the school, but it's tied for first with another school that I was also accepted to. I'm having a hard time making up my mind so would love to hear your thoughts!

It was an acceptance! Got the news this morning via email! My first one, so I'm thrilled!
Congratulations!!
Would you care to elaborate on your LOI if you don't mind?
Was it a letter of interest where you talked about what you liked/ how you're a good match etc.. at Rochester, or was it a letter of intent saying you would drop everywhere else and 100% go there if accepted?
I've been wait listed since December, and I liked Rochester a lot so I'm wondering how I should go about something like this.
Thanks in advance!
Got a High Priority WL email today anyone else hear something similar? Also any idea how good WL movement typically is here?
For those who were accepted off the waitlist, when did you interview? Also I didn't think the waitlist movement would be starting until later in the spring...

How was this high priority email worded?I also got the email! Sounds pretty promising, the way they put it!
Those of you who are part of the accepted students Facebook group, who did you get the invite email from? I've been accepted for almost a month now with no word, and at this point I really need to join to talk about housing and stuff.
Wait an accepted students group has already been made/they sent out an email about it? I was accepted in January and have received very, very little communication with them since, other than the second look RSVP email and that having to pass Step 2 or something email.
I also never got a phone call with my acceptance (just an email) and I'm actually kind of bummed about that? Do they only call certain people or something?
Maybe I didn't really get in... they cashed my deposit check though 🙄

I thought there was one because upthread someone said that invites go by email.
Edit: Though I interpreted it as it was already existing, and people just had to be added. Maybe it hasn't been created yet! Kinda late, if that is the case.
Did you send a letter of intent or anything?From the email:
Currently, our list of accepted applicants is over-subscribed. However, I am sending this email to inform you that you currently are in the top tier of Rochester's Wait List. If our admissions process unfolds as in past years, I fully expect that you will be offered an acceptance into the Class of 2021, and should hear from us by the end of May or in early June. While I cannot guarantee that you will receive an acceptance from Rochester, please know that I would not be sending you this email unless I thought you had a good chance.

I did not! But I had a really good feeling post-interview. I was actually quite disappointed to find out I got WLed after my interviewer basically told me I'd be a great addition to the school.Did you send a letter of intent or anything?
So this might be a stupid question, but if their "list of accepted students is oversubscribed," how come they are accepting people off of the waitlist so early?
I guess that makes sense, but they're still interviewing right? Oh well, I'll chalk it up to the mysteries of the admissions process 🙂
