[Cherry90]

I still haven't received an update. Is no news good news, or have they no yet reviewed my application?

In another cycle I received a late II in February. Rochester doesn’t do silent rejections, so you’re still in the running!

For those who interviewed, how long was each interview section? I know it says 30-60 online, but I was wondering where most interview times fell. Any tips would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

My first one was 60, the second one was more like 45

My first one was exactly 40 minutes, and the second one went for a bit over an hour.

For those who interviewed, looking for advice. I submitted my writing 5 days before the interview but completely overlooked the fact they said 5 business days, which would mean I submitted 3 days prior (the interview is on 2/1/24). I saw that your application can be withdrawn without further notification for this. But I just looked and I see my interviewers are still scheduled. Do you think it's worth an email to admissions about my mistake or am I being neurotic? Did anyone else not submit the writing 5 business days before and get in?

Send no email and draw no attention to it. I doubt it will affect you.

I haven’t heard nothing since August. Do I still have a chance?

I haven’t heard nothing since August. Do I still have a chance?

I would think so! I was complete around 7/20 and got an II two weeks ago

 

[Trippanzee]

The interview is 1:1 traditional with faculty right? What was the vibe like?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

1:1 traditional and for me, this was the interview I enjoyed most by far. Both my interviewers were extremely personable and I don't think they had specific questions prepared, it was more a conversation. They truly wanted to get to know me and it was very much back and forth as opposed to one-sided where you have to carry the conversation!

Hi! I was wondering how people prepared for the ethical group discussion?

Hi! I was wondering how people prepared for the ethical group discussion?

Hey! I don’t think you could really prepare for it because it’s not necessarily about the right / wrong answer and all. I think just being respectful, taking into account what someone else said when responding, and trying to talk 1-2x is helpful!

 

[Pipi&Pomegranate]

Anyone know when we are expecting the next round of decisions?

I interviewed mid December and they said 6-8 weeks, maybe a little on the longer side because of the holidays and I think today's 7 weeks, so any time now I guess😂

 

[tomthegawd]

OOS A just now, interviewed early-mid January

 

[H_double_J]

Has anyone heard back from the Levitan scholarship yet? I know the chance is slim for me, but I couldn't help thinking abt it lollllll

 

[cantrelax]

OOS WL, interviewed 1/10, LM 73, felt good about the interview :/

 

[wishingoneyelashes]

[Delawarean]

Just got the A from early Jan interview... can't believe it's happening after one failed cycle. still shaking haha

 

[Pipi&Pomegranate]

How do you apply for it? I couldn’t figure their scholarships with applications out

its a program/scholarship for international student only. You get into the scholarship=you get accepted or no scholarship = not accepted. There's 1 spot every year

 

[premedt15]

Does anyone know if Rochester is receptive to/ accepts letters of intent? Have this interview soon and it is definitely my top choice. Was thinking of sending the letter shortly after my interview (barring nothing goes incredibly wrong)

 

[SpeakMed]

Does rochester accept courses in urban studies and education to fulfill the humanities requirement? their website doesn't mention anything about those fields? is there an opportunity to explain on the secondary?

Typically schools ask that you get a letter from registrar at your school stating that the specific courses you took fulfil the humanities requirement. I had to do that for English because my school didn't have eng prefixes on any classes.
