Is the applicant portal not working for anyone else?
 
At the interviews here, are the only things the interviewer can see the pre-interview questions (the two short essay and three most meaningful activity questions)? Is the rest of your application blinded to the interviewers?

yup!
 
Any idea when the website will be back on? Need to submit my essays
 
They just emailed back saying the website will likely be back up tomorrow morning
 
Just received an email that "review of my application is ongoing". I was complete in early July. So I guess that is like a hold??
 
Just received the application still under review email...does anyone know if this is a hold? I read the Rochester thread from last year, and this email read exactly the same as the on-hold email from the previous cycle, except that they specifically said you were on-hold last year but not in this one...that's why I'm a little unsure about if this email is a hold email or not...thoughts?

We appreciate your interest in the University of Rochester Medical School and wanted to let you know review of applications is still ongoing. We have not forgotten you! Review of applicants should be completed by mid-January and once a final decision has been made regarding your application, you will receive an email from us.

If you would like to update your application, please feel free to upload any updates through our Applicant Portal. We realize the waiting is hard, but our Committee wants to give each application a thorough review.

We appreciate your patience and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at [email protected]

+6 also received this under review email. It's possible that our apps have been looked over already and are some sort of hold. It's also possible that our apps simply have not been reviewed yet. Few schools seem to review in chronological order of submission. Either way, it seems like we'll know sometime at the end of January.
 
Complete since August and no communication since complete email. Didn't receive the still under review email either.
 
Didn't get this email but I was complete 8/19. Can I assume no one has looked at my app yet?
 
Looking at the thread last year it doesn't look like its a hold, some people who got it got an interview some people who got it didn't get an interview. Apparently two years ago they sent out an email saying specifically you are on hold, so this doesn't look like to be the hold email.

So what does it mean if you didn't receive that email? Does that mean you haven't been reviewed? I know we don't have real answers and more just speculation

probably depends on complete date (all speculation of course) when were you complete?
 
Complete in late September (09/23) and received the email...maybe they haven't read my app yet?

I applied right away last year (7/15) and received this in mid October. Received the R a couple months after

I applied a week later this year and have not gotten the email yet.
 
Based on what I read from the past year's thread, I also think silence is better than hold/application under review...

also got the email, submitted in august. Last years thread looks like some people got an interview a week or two after they received the email so there is hope 🙂
 
Still haven't gotten the email so I'll just keep telling myself that's a good sign
 
Also complete late July here and didn't receive that email. Hmm
 
Submitted mid July and no email. Fully expecting an R this week. I think people in the previous thread who got IIs with no email just submitted later in the cycle. GLTA

Yup they absolutely do! I made mine a letter of interest as well, and I think it definitely helped. I sent it last Wednesday and got an email on Sunday morning acknowledging receipt. 30 minutes later I got an II. 🤩

By sent it in you mean put it on the portal right? I uploaded mine and didn’t get any acknowledgement

Honestly just seems like a nice email to let people know they're still in the system, I wouldn't read much into it. I got it complete sometime in July

I'd lean towards this as well haha. Imo it'd be kinda whack to send an email to those who are about to get rejected that "we haven't forgotten about you and you're still in the system," no?
