Are there any current students in here who wouldn’t mind answering some questions?

Would also like to hear about what living in Rochester is like, especially as someone who isn’t from the area!

 

[turbo_yeet]

II just now! Three dates in February, two in early March.

 

[purplepancakes897]

Should updates be emailed or uploaded? I’m worried they won’t read it before giving me that pre-II R if I upload it.

Were you on hold??

 

[turbo_yeet]

Were you on hold??

Yep! Since mid november

 

[IJustWannaDoc]

Has anyone on hold who got an email saying they'll hear about an interview in the beginning of January still not heard?

I ended up hearing. Try emailing them?

I have not...email doesn't sounds like a bad idea, its time to start clearing up the spreadsheet

 

[IJustWannaDoc]

Did you email them and they responded with a decision?

 

[ruins16]

Did you email them and they responded with a decision?

I just emailed them and will edit once I receive a response. I got the hold email in late November.
EDIT: As of 2/1/20 still no response, and based on other messages in this thread, I wouldn't be surprised if I don't hear from them for a while.

 

[premed-1326]

I also got the hold email but have not heard since then. And I sent them an update

 

[happybday1972]

Anyone that interviewed after 12/17 hear back yet?

 

[snow36]

^ Still waiting for a decision, my interview was late december

 

[LaLaLaTra]

Same here.

I emailed them to ask about this on Tuesday and they have not gotten back to me yet

 

[LaLaLaTra]

Been on hold since November and no word. I just called and they said they are interviewing through early March.
Maybe there's still hope!

 

[bluelight123]

Anyone that interviewed after 12/17 hear back yet?

I interviewed on 12/4 and I still haven't heard back so don't worry (maybe I should worry though)

 

[koster35]

12/11 and ditto.

 

[Polarbare50]

I don't think you should worry. I haven't heard of any correlation between the length of time for a post-II decision and the decision outcome itself. For both Rochester and any medical school in general. Again, it's not something you can control so why worry.

We have plenty of other things to worry about haha

Good point, thanks!

 

[ColdBrewChomps]

for those who haven't heard back (besides that "on hold email" in Nov, should we assume it's game over? they said they'll get back to us with some outcome decision in January...

 

[Thekid765]

does anyone know when we get financial aid packages from them?

 

[polydactylpterodactyl]

So people recieved this email and actually heard back by beginning of January? If not, are they more receptive to calling or email?

 

[FutureDocPNW]

Waitlisted today, interviewed 12/5

 

[bakarian7]

Waitlisted post interview.

 

[purplepancakes897]

Was put on hold in November. I sent a letter of interest late January and got a message back saying they're still reviewing applications. All hope is not lost! Interviews apparently go on until March so fingers and toes crossed.

Did you send your letter of interest as an email or upload it to the portal? I uploaded a letter to the portal but did not receive a response.

 

[happybday1972]

WL today, interviewed mid-december. What are the chances of getting off the wait list? do they even reject anyone post interview?

 

[ColdBrewChomps]

i submitted to the portal and also did not receive a response. i don't think you should be receiving a response tho?

My MSAR has expired now, but I wrote down that they WL 350-400, and of those about 30 are accepted. If someone has an active account they can confirm though!
