<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p>I don't know whether there is already a thread for this...but I wanted to start a REMS thread for prospective U of R students. Who here is applying to REMS? I'm excited but a tad nervous...heh...</p>
<p>I’m not doing REMS but will apply for GEAR.</p>
<p>Will start a new thread too.</p>
<p>Hey, bailey42… I am glad to hear that you are excited. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the program and/or application process.</p>
<p>Thanks, MConklin! I will definitely let you know if I have questions. Knowing me, I probably will.</p>
<p>I am applying to REMS as well, and I was a little confused about the second essay question on the combined-admission programs supplement. It says to write an essay on why you would enjoy working with a certain faculty member teaching in the graduate program to which you are applying, and it says that faculty information can be found on the university’s website, [University</a> of Rochester](<a href=“http://www.rochester.edu%5DUniversity”>http://www.rochester.edu), but I can’t figure out where on the website it gives any information about faculty members, especially specifying ones that work in the REMS program. Any information would be really helpful.</p>
<p>Well, first of all you need to narrow down your field of interest for research.</p>
<p>Neuroscience/neurology? Cancer research? Pediatrics? Community medicine?</p>
<p>Check the faculty pages of medical school profs. [University</a> of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester NY](<a href=“Error”>http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/)</p>
<p>Also look at the various biology subdepartment and labs at the River campus. There is a lot of crossover between the Bio dept faculty and med school faculty-and some are on faculty at both places. </p>
<p>There is not one specific subset of faculty that works specifically with REMS students.</p>
<p>I was wondering, is it required that the REMS application be mailed in? Can we submit the Common Application and Rochester supplement online while mailing in the REMS application separately?</p>
<p>You can, but there should be an electronic version of the REMS Application on our website.</p>
<p>Thanks! Would it be ok if I did mail in the REMS application while submitting the normal U of R supplement online (for formatting reasons and just personal preference 
)?</p>
<p>Yes, that would be fine. Once we recieve the document we will scan it so that we can associate it with your file electronically. Good luck!</p>
<p>Hello again,</p>
<p>I was trying to download the REMS application from the following URL from the U of R website: </p>
<p>enrollment.rochester.edu/admissions/res/pdf/cap.pdf</p>
<p>but for some reason the page will not open. I’m hoping to print out the application and submit it ASAP, but cannot open the PDF from any computer I try from :/. Any advice?</p>
<p>I’m not sure. I am out of the office today but will ask tomorrow if this is an error on our end, and I will respond with an update when I have more information. Is anyone else unable to open the PDF?</p>
<p>That’s a negative here too.
Something’s definitely wrong with the link.
By the way, bailey42, where did you get that link to the PDF? I tried Googling it but nothing came up :\ I’m going to apply online but I like seeing the actual application format (they all look really AWESOME!)</p>
<p>inycepoo,</p>
<p>I got the link by googling “combined admissions programs University of Rochester”</p>
<p>And thanks MConklin for checking the issue out for us! I appreciate it .</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Things seem to be working from our end as well. Any luck inycepoo?</p>
<p>Um…not really.
The link from above still doesn’t work and I can’t find a pdf version of it on the website, even after Googling what bailey42 did.</p>
<p>No worries though, it was only just a tad bit of curiosity on my part, nothing serious.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help though, MConklin.</p>
<p>I don’t think many college reps hang around CC all that much to help us confused (and over-pressured) applicants :)</p>
<p>I am also applying to REMS, and I really can’t find where they list the REMS faculty members… If you have any luck with that please let me know?</p>
<p>inycepoo - I am happy to help!</p>
<p>rscupcake - Faculty members are not designated specifically to the REMS program. For a listing of medical school faculty by subject area, I recommend perusing the following link: [Browse</a> Profiles - University of Rochester Medical Center](<a href=“People - University of Rochester Medical Center”>People - University of Rochester Medical Center)</p>
<p>Otherwise, the best source of information is the faculty directly on the University of Rochester’s main page. </p>
<p>I hope that this helps!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I am almost done sending my application but I have a question regarding interviews. The REMS application page says that an interview is highly recommended. Does that mean I have to schedule the interview or am I called for an interview based on how the admissions office likes my application?</p>
<p>You should schedule an undergraduate admissions interview by contacting your alum interviewer on the MyRoc page, but the admissions office chooses who gets the REMS interview; the latter will be on campus at UR.</p>
<p>I’m really looking forward to the on-campus one. (if I’m lucky enough, that is :p)</p>
