University of Rochester International Interview Request

I am about to submit an international interview request to UofR in myRoc account. They require me to fill some information relating to my senior year courseload, extracurricural interests and academic interests. They’ve also left a question: “Why UofR?”

Should I submit a short response rather than a full essay as I would in a common application question? In the common application, UofR doesn’t include such a question.

You answer it how you want. That’s the point: you say “Why UofR?” for you. They take your reason(s) into consideration.

Submit your full, 250-word, essay if you have one. Remember to match what they offer to what your strengths are (they already know what they have, they want to know how that’s a good match for you).
