In that case, I am optimistic that they actually haven’t reviewed them all. To be on the safe side, I’m going to call the office tmw and will get back to this.

+1 for the "App still under review" email. I was complete on 9/10. Not gonna look too much into it!
Just checked my portal and realized I failed to press submit on my secondary back in July- should I email admissions to let them know I'm very interested? Fee was paid and everything 🙁 Actually cannot believe I did that, Rochester is one of my top schools

Literallt same thing happened to me. I paid on July 13 but forgot to check the box to send my Casper so was complete August 28
I was complete first couple days of Sept and got the same email today. relieved to hear from them and not really going to read into it yet.
Did you let admissions know? I guess late August is much sooner than mid October tho.
I have not received any sort of email, did my interview with them on 9/23. Is this email only for non-IIs? Does it have any information regarding a decision date? If I read correctly, last year's cycle got As around now, so hoping to hear back from them sooner than later. Rochester is one of my favorites!

We are in the clear! Email applies to both those not reviewed yet and those currently under review as of the weekend.

So you spoke with the admissions committee and they said that the email they sent out yesterday is not a hold?

Yup, I asked if they could elaborate on the email and they told me it was genuinely an email that hinted they have not got to those or that they are still under review. I'm a bit comforted but still neurotic nonetheless lol.
I did not receive that email
Perhaps sent to all who interviewed?

i think sent to all who interviewed! I went to one last night and the students were explicit to mention they had no affiliation with admissions/ no admissions people were there

I’m from CA and was interviewed! I don’t think that disqualifies us 🙂

Adcoms in general or for this school specifically?
Did you interview already?

Tomorrow is 6 weeks from the first interview date (I’m pretty sure?)!! I think this thread should be getting some news soon 🙂
oh is it specifically for post-II folks? hadn't realized - thanks!
For "Please describe what sets you apart from other applicants.", did people treat this as a diversity prompt/just slap on their diversity essay? Im kinda done with writing new essays at this point lol

What????
It's just one of the questions they ask after II since they're closed file except for a set of questions

Yeah, i'm modifying a diversity essay i wrote for another school 😀
For the 4 activities, do you think it's essential to include info about it that's on our AMCAS? i'm wondering about things like how long we did it for, hour hours, specific title, stuff like that?
Hi, so I am not a current interviewee but I do know from previous cycles that Rochester interviewers won't see your full file and only have access to the 4 activities you write about along with your short essays. Based off this, I think it'd be important to flesh out the activities even if it overlaps with your AMCAS. Can someone else who's interviewed corroborate this information?

Just got the call as well! Interviewed 9/10
Congratulations. Looks like they are sticking to the lower end of the 6-8 weeks!
Congrats to you both!!
Anyone from the second week of interviews hear anything?
Congrats! If I may ask, what’s the area code that they call from in Rochester?

Would either starting a new MCAT tutoring gig/starting a full time job in a medical office count as “significant?” They se both just beginning
