@TGryx23 I just tried to call and they’re closed. I can try again on Monday though.
@cottoncandy1301 thank you so much
@fbsdreams you said
“Get those interviews in ASAP and request from someone high in admissions. Remember to highlight what you bring to the campus and student body and how the cluster works for you and the desire to do research year one.”
Which interview are you referring to? I already completed one before the ED deadline;(do we need to apply for another?) And, how do we exactly request one from someone high in admissions?
I have a decent stat , nearly 1B or 1C, not sure about X, Y or Z though. Being deferred hit me real hard, could you please provide me with some insight as to how i should proceed. I would be deeply grateful.
@AnanFaiyaz Engagement is extremely important at the top tier universities these days. Do you fit their academic profile ? Would you excel in the cluster environment ? Are you looking to do research ? As one of the smallest Tier 1s it’s almost expected and a win/win for the university and undergrads. Is there current research that is being done that you are interested in ? Does it feed into your major and the idea of clusters (majors/minors) ?
Have you reached out the to the Univeristy multiple times and requested information about various topics ? Housing? Clubs? On campus Enviornment? Diversity and how you will add value to culture ? What ECs/Clubs have you been involved with that carry into UofR and immediately add value ?
Don’t be afraid to add additional information to show admissions how the puzzle fits together and even add additional LORs. How you have overcome adversity?
How about Hive ? Did you log in and review the other ED applicants ? Post detailed information about yourself ? Check the button that says admissions can use it as grounds for admission decisions ?
Feel free to PM and I am more than willing to assist if and where I can. We knew very early that UofR was the perfect fit and made sure to check every box we could and then some. We are NY’ers so I’m sure that helps.
At the end of the day, every school is looking for something dffferent, but they gauge the enagagemnt and fit pretty similarly.
Did anybody’ get into the REMS program
Interesting older read which probably still applies - search reddit for “I am Jon Burdick, the Dean of Admissions at the University of Rochester. AMA!”
Didn’t receive decision till now. I am an international student; can someone please suggest me what should I do next?
@fbsdreams how do i schedule an interview with someone high up in admissions?
@gapyearboy2023 wait till tomorrow. Monday is gonna be a working day and they probably will release the second batch tomorrow. If you don’t get it then , I’d suggest you contact them
@AnanFaiyaz If your international - reach out to one of the Directors on the staff website.
Who do you send your updated documents to when deferred? How do you know who read your application?
@cottoncandy1301 can you please try to call them again and ask for the time of the release of the second batch? I’m dying of stress over here
So I called just now and they said that most of the decisions were released on Friday so if you haven’t , you need to make sure that everything is on file in your application portal including your mid term grades. You can call them yourself and tell them your name so they can help you with it as well
@Ken203 I am the same situation. Did u ask them about that? Please tell me their answer.
Thanks
@TGryx23 Sorry about that, I just got home from school now. After seeing what si890 (post #152) said, I would recommend emailing admissions since you can’t call them. Try to include as much info as you can so they can specifically help you. Best of luck!

Any news on FA letter yet?
@Reina712 I spoke to FA and they said should have everything within two weeks.
Just curious but what are you guys planning to major in? I hope to major in Bio (most likely Cell and Developmental).
I applied RD and REMS, when should I expect to hear back from UR?
