•University of Rochester RD Class of 2020•

Just made a discussion for those who are applying Regular Decision to URochester for 2020.

Let’s get to know each other a bit better:

  1. Why are you applying to URochester?
  2. Which school (and program, if its applicable) are you applying to? What is your intended major (or areas of interest if undecided)?
  3. Where did you apply for EA/ED?
  4. What are your qualifications?
  5. What are your hobbies/interests/extracurriculars?
  6. What tips/advice do you have for applying?

Hi! Sorry I won’t answer all questions, but I applied to Rochester too. I really hope to get in, though I’m really scared that my SAT score may hurt my chances. I got 1860 but I hope my secondary school transcripts will prove that I’m quite intelligent(I don’t mean to sound conceited). I applied RD to study Biomedical Eng, did an interview and I think my essay was okay. Can March get here already!!

Awesome @Kito94 to hear you are applying!! Good luck in March!

I am applying because I fell in love with the campus and everything about the school, and I can picture myself being there for the next four years. I am applying to the dual degree in nursing program to major in nursing and business administration. Some of the other schools I applied to are St. John Fisher, Nazareth, Le Moyne, and the Ohio State University. Can’t wait for letters to be sent!

Does anyone know why UR’s portal is down?

it was down, but I was able to log in when I checked again just now. my status was updated to step 4. What step is everyone on? good luck everyone!!

Mine also went down, but it’s still on Step 2.

@GoingForIt step 4? Mine is still on 2

On step 3! Hey, I applied for neuroscience and pre-med discipline.

@Kito94 yeah i was surprised because I thought it would take longer to get to 4. not sure if its a good or bad thing haha

Hi all!

I’m hoping to major in linguistics. I’ve been going to an arts high school for acting, so I’m really interested in pursuing the Stage Management Certificate at Rochester!

My app is still on step 2…eek…the waiting…

Anyway, good luck to all of you! I know we’ll all end up at a place that’s good for us. :slight_smile:

Anyone applying to REMS here?

@iheartmedicine I am! Do you have any idea when we hear about interviews? I know it’s supposed to be this month but not exactly when.

@eclucas98 awesome! I heard that over over the next two weeks the REMS decisions are coming out.

My son applied regular decision. He had a good interview in our area in the fall. His rep.was very informative and helpful. He would like to study biology. He has a 4.6 weighted GPA and 33 superscored act. He has been accepted to the university of Pittsburgh, Ohio state, and villanova. Waiting to hear from BU, BC, and some others. Rochester is the smallest school he has applied to, and there seems to be so much offered there. So many strengths. We haven’t visited but will if he’s accepted. He’s an accomplished percussionist.

Does anyone know when the first round for regular decision applicants is supposed to come out?

I was just reading last year’s RD thread. People started posting acceptances on March 3rd, but FYI, they did not get merit and finanical aid info until later. :slight_smile:

I’m also applying RD :slight_smile:
My app is currently on Step 3.

Mine has been on step 2 for quite sometime now…
@Chrysanthemum14 What do you plan on studying?

@Kito94 Biology - not sure what concentration yet.
