I've been to 2 of them so far and I think they are pretty informative! I pick which ones I go to based on what the 2 topics for the day are (topics are in the email pdf they send). It's best if you have specific questions for the students but also nice to just sit in and listen to all the new information. It's super informative, informal, and the students are really friendly. I would definitely recommend them!

wow im gonna have to abuse this discovery now. thank you! 😀
May be this info is not disclosed by all schools
Are you guys former students at Rochester? Just curious!
Awesome! Thanks for responding! I'll check it out
I am not.
II received today. Accidentally submitted the secondary 5 weeks after getting it mid to late july
I just realized that MSAR has waitlist information... lol.

yes I am!
Posting late but accepted! No phone call but got the email 11/5, interviewed 9/23
I've been to two pop-up cafes, the students are always super nice but the time/topics covered are too brief and I usually have to leave. I'm planning on just emailing some current students. It's so nice that as soon as you get an II they provide you a whole list of students to contact 🙂

Anyone who interviewed the week of Oct 15th think we might hear back soonish/ what has their average time been? I know they said 6-8 weeks but it feels so long haha

I submitted my initial Rochester app on 8/12 and wasn't complete until 10/13 (after MCAT score received) - I still haven't gotten an R or an invite to complete a secondary? Do you think that's indicative of a silent rejection?
I donot think Rochester screens pre-secondary. I suggest emailing or calling them first thing Monday morning. Even if their secondary invite got stuck on your spam, most likely been auto-deleted by now.

I heard that they send you actual secondary questions once they screen you for a potential interview

Rochester does not have any secondary essays. They have essays only before interview. As far as I know and based on my timelines, there was no screening pre-secondary. Strongly recommend you calling them Monday morning.

Nope!
I got one of the emails and a few weeks later got a II!
Edit: and by a few weeks I mean ten days, because time is meaningless to my brain

Looking at my communications page on the portal, apparently I got it 10/18 and got the II 10 days later. Earliest dates at that point were in January
