Hi, my son received the invitation to GEAR interview. I haven’t seen any posts about the interview process on this site or others. The itinerary seems to include more like “getting to know the school” activities than interview itself. Could anyone who had the experience share your stories? Thank you very much!
Congratulations to your son for making it as a finalist. An older post regarding GEAR from @TSocash who I believe works(ed) in admissions.
“The GEAR interviews will be conducted by an Admissions Counselor and a Professor / Staff member of the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Throughout the conversation, we hope to gauge your excitement for the University of Rochester and your preparedness to engage in a combined B.S./M.S. program. The conversation will steer itself through your interests and engineering-related experiences.”
Thank you! I did see that post. It was 6 years ago. Not sure if there has been any changes since then. But thank you again! That was still helpful!
