Yeah 17 looks most likely.
I had my best Interview with this school š
URoch please let me innnnnnšš¤²
U roch best school
They say that interviews are really important to them so thatās good!!!!
It's one of my top choices
Really keeping my fingers crossed š¤
My interviewer was so nice
I was literally panicking few minutes to the interview because of unstable internet connection but as soon as I started the interview, her vibe just changed the whole atmosphere.
I laughed the whole time as we both cracked jokes and talked about stuffs at URoch like the lamp you're given during the winter and how she enjoyed playing in the snow with her friends.
URoch please let me innnnš
Wow! That sounds great
I realized my interviewer was a theater kid like me
I asked him for advice about how to get involved
It was super conversational
He was funny too
Iām sorry ): I can give you a bunch or reasons as to why itās bad if you want!
š
reason 1: L aid
This!
Almost like I wasn't talking to an adult.
Their aid is hit or missš
Hopefully it does.
Seems you applied to a handful of LACs too
I did!
Does university of Rochester typically announce when decisions release beforehand or does it just drop?
no clue 
They didnāt email me for ed2
I donāt think they give specific dates
But pro tip donāt wait for an email just check because they literally didnāt email me saying there was a status update š
Thx iāll at my status portal around ion know like 8 pm est on the 17th maybe sumn will be there
they did email me
and i'm RD
not sure
Yeah
uh
no this was from last year
i got emailed really early
february 2n
2nd
oh wow
The rizzler
poli best of luck w both bu and uroch!! May best results come to both of us
yes!! will do
wait bee
yeah?
did u get into caltech?
oh did they? nope nope, mustāve been accident
ah okok
@serene stump what are your favorite things to do in the Rochester area?
Also whatās the best dining hall 
best dining hall is (arguably) douggy
though danforth is AMAZING on good days
there's this really nice restaurant that uh
a dumpling house
just look it up
it's amazing
me and my friends go there all the time
also COLLEGE TOWNNN
thrifting n stuff
though i haven't done that much bc semi busy
you can also take a 3ish hour bus ride to vancouver
for pretty cheap price
if u are looking forward to that
Iām so excited to try them all!!
Is the pit any good
I remember I got a soda there when I visited and it was so good
They had the fancy machine
pit is good, though my favorite part is the rockyās
cuz they always have a solid sub
I LOVE dumplings
as an asian person myself i have to say the cultural foods at pitt are very mid
Like I donāt think you understand
the wok and whatnot are VERY mid
thereās also a chipotle like station
which is mid mid mid
but they do have very fire fries
dude, the dumpling house is AMAZING
when u go there
order their xiaolongbao
and then take a picture and send it
cuz iām gonna miss it once i transfer

URoch manifesting manifesting
URoch why the fuck do you not announce when youāre out
When
I'll rely on this thread to know when decisions come out 
Yeah me too
@serene stump iām visiting rochester for RIT, but might come to UR if i have any extra time. Where do you recommend for food in the city?
3 hours across north america is crazy š
thereās apparently a road thatās filled with restaurants
though iād still have to look into that
havenāt had the chance yet
I talked w director of campus programs and admitted students day is April 1
They havenāt come out w that info yet bc rd isnāt out but I thought it could be useful for those who have gotten in already bc plane tickets and planning
yeah it's very much random
that. Kinda suggests they got more applicants this year huh
last year they had a LOT of applicants
and a lot of acceptances
so maybe they're decreasing their acceptances slightly? no clue, it's very much based on luck
yeah i got it so early that i was chillin for most of my senior year
but there's also not as much to look forward to
nah
the aid is very much
either amazing
or horrible
partially why im transferring
if im paying this much i might as well be going to a top school š
T40
They kinda did
Announce it I mean
There are 4 different admitted student days
April first is just one of them
Ooh ok
Last time I looked it was tbd everywhere lol
But maybe Iām bad at looking
fr that was exactly my point
like idk why some colleges have very bad profs, bad academics, grade deflation, and other negative aspects but cost so much
when do the decisions come out?
also whatās the weekend scene like at rochester?
are there a lot of parties?
The seventeenth apparently
Life q direct to souppy
Who is current student
@serene stump
depends on greek life, who you hang out with, and where on campus you are
ranging from many parties to no parties
oh yeah i love rush rhees
you can see it from anywhere on campus
which is particular helpful to me
because i have no sense of direction otherwise
Thatāll be helpful when Iām still trying to figure out how to get around campus haha
don't worry dude
i'm literally the most directionless person
you will ever meet
but even i think the campus is easy to get around
get used to the tunnels in the fall though!
will be really helpful once winter hits
Yes!!!!!
Oh my gosh Iām so excited to paint the walls of them during orientation
šļø
we do this really cool thing
where we spend a day
just painting over a specific section of the wall
with a cool show poster
oh we also spent a day or 2 filming a really funny video for the show
every semester
Thatās so cool?????
i'd send you a pic of our show
that sounds so special
yes! it's awesome
i can swing by the tunnels later and take a pic for you
again, if you can get into an acapella group
go for it
it's an unforgettable experience
and close bonds
I really hope I get into one
I donāt think Iāve seen a college as passionate about acapella as Rochester
trebellious is also awesome
I actually wrote a little about it in my why Rochester essay haha
good good
vp can be intimidating
but if you survive the auditions
youll be good
does everyone in the groups have like
really good voices?
Like is everyone exceptionally talented
Because I love singing and Iām like talented at music but my voice isnāt like incredible
depends on your definition, but for mixed groups there's usually a stricter entry barrier for girls than compared to boys
cuz more girls audition
dw my voice also isn't incredible
if you need help w auditions i can help a lil bit
maybe sneak in a lil bit of forbidden knowledge
after all i had to judge a few folks this winter haha
ooh I would feel so powerful
the only unfortunate thing for u is that ill be gone by next fall
or else you could probably get my vote

I still canāt believe it 
Omgggg when I went I saw this all boys group
Something like midnight ??
And tribellius if thatās how u spell it
They were so good
midnight ramblers
I saw them during the multicultural show Iām so glad my host took me there
YES YES
they were cool
they're the most tryhard group on campus
but their quality is AMAZING
they did a glimpse of us this fall and it was beautiful
OMG BY JOJI?!?$
THATS IS
I WOULD CRY
they did happier than ever and the awesomest transition to traitor and I was like woowwwww
I also saw a bunch of dance groups I think I might join the Bollywood dance group
Only problem is I have no experienceā¦
Thatās so exciting
our group does a lot of harry styles hozier conan gray that kinda stuff
R there specific performances for ur groups or do yāall just try to find opportunities to perform wherever
and then usually a few old songs to please the boomers
both
we both performer wherever and each have our own show
Omg I want to join a group so bad but my mom thinks Iām bad at singing š„²š„²
But my friends think Iām good LOL
there's actually a thing called the "aca-pas where you can go to all of the shows for really cheap
hey dude, if any of y'all need help with acapella syuff
i can help you practice and give tips if you're really down for it
sadly i won't be judging next fall but, again
i know a fair amount of info
Thatās so sweet aww thank u
I think my parents want me to dance rather than sing eek
for dance there's also rlly cool things here
there's a kpop dance group here
who's so sick
rice crew
I have no experience but I rly want to join some of the groups
there's also a hop hop dance group
Souppy youāre getting me so wxcited about URoch
Or get involved in dance somehow
forgot their name
hey man, gotta hype up my school even if i'm going
dw all the dance groups have sessions to teach u
can u tell us some unideal things abt uroch lol
but if u wanna go perform w them
THE COST
AHHH
unless you got aid
then in which case
it's pretty awesome
Yeah š¦ Iām in a weird position where I qualify for no aid but I canāt afford to pay everything
other than that some programs r not as good
for an example i'm a cs major and those can be limited
Like which
urochester has really good programs and mid ones
I heard that no matter which major u r u can easily switch
the engineering has been known for mid
but any humanities or bio or poli sci it's really good
yeah dude ive already switched 3 times
Is rems alright
at the beginning of fall
if you can get into rems
I did
I did
ok ur chillin
šš
for the next 8 years
like lowkey i like it more than brown
It was ⦠hard
No brown hasnāt come out yet but I like rems more than Plme
Dude
I saw some of rhe resumes of the ppl I was competing against
They were five pages long
anyone that can get into those BSMD programs have my respect
actually insanity to get into
i assume rems give aid, right?
there was another rems girl here
oh did you change your name/pfp
So one year paid for?
better aid than i get
No, Iāve always had my dumb name and duck pic lol
but this is still a somewhat pricy school
Oh shit
Debt debt debt
Congrats Dr. Sophia
AWWW STOP IT
I think Iām just happy bc like
Better than med school lmfao
sincerity won them over
I think the problem was so many applicants were just BRAGGINF THE WHOLE TIMEE
like STOP I donāt care that u shadowed Emory man
Not for me I get stir crazy. Honestly though I wouldāve shot my shot if I didnāt think my ECs didnāt show enough experience
:( unfortunately thatās the game a lot of the time
Yk bsmds are good but not gold
If they were so good more would be coming out but instead theyāre collapsing
Thatās what my mom said to me when I get rejected from five
oh also
there's one bad thing abt rochester
the winters
get ready for some cold
cuz
i mean i was used to cold
so it wasn't as bad
Theyāre great I think just hard as hell, cuz youāre in the same place so long
but it's WIMDY here
Oh rip
thatās not worse than anything I already deal with though
istg one time the wind nearly picked me up
Yeah ok so someone actually told me to not apply to rems
And I have no chance
And itās too late
prolly cuz not enough students can make it thru???
So northwestern hpme
The inside scoop is that there was a large inequity in admission
what was it sophia
Bc so many shadowing opportunities and research stems from connection
at least thatās what I have heard
northwestern moment
i'm applying to that school too
As soon as I got in my mom was like ā ur life isnāt set now u gotta work even harderā and I was like nahahdhoskadoandkwsmam
AHHHHHHH

me too
asian parent?
Northwestern for bme bc bme was back up
yea
sounds like an asian parent
Yes ofc
:(( u only rly have to prep for residency and thatās years off
you can just live life as long as ur doing well in ur classes
ur pretty much set tho
kekw
also the best thing abt rems is @wispy dragon
since it's not accelerated
you don't need to spend extra time
Yeah fs
thatās so crazy
I think the best thing for me is that they seem to genuinely care
Abt me
And no mcat
Like
and since rochester has no core curriculum
Yes CLUSTERSSSS
you can literally take whatever you want to try
so excited
my mom was also like ābut donāt do stupid classes thoā so Iām limited to Spanish and business
But I want to do med anthropology
And all this STUFF
YET
my MOTHER
Issok
just do it mannn
she just wants me to graduate as this all powerful doctor
asian parent syndrome
try the things you wanna
acapella anthro
whatever you want dude
it's college
it's your life
I love her advice but like I want to explore I think sheās just scared that Iāll stop working hard bc I think my life is set and I got into med school already
Like I know I wonāt stop working hard
But she has to realize I donāt have to do dumb stuff to prove myself anymore so like fuck it I can sing
can I cook anywhere
I had Susan b Anthony food from dining hall
Didnāt love it
I want to cook lmao
Is there a kitchen in every dorm house thingy
I like the idea of buying ingredients and just tossing it up by myself lol
just donāt tell her what classes ur taking š
uhhh
not every i don't think
like technically she doesnāt have say
Oh yikes
true
Is there a place to store food?
Like a fridge is what I mean
most folks go to suites in sophomore
no fridge? Can u have ur own fridge ?
okay. Ugh thatās so expensive but I rly canāt
My host is freshman she has fridge and a single
Yea yea gotchu
Iād get a minifridge yeah thatād be enough
š¦
there's a stove in genesse
Just need that and a microwave
Genes se omg
which is the hall i'm in
PRAYING for genese
I want to be in there
if you can choose btw go genesse
Iām still upset about the no Ed priority thing.
the funny thing is
genesse is so good that
if you ever tell people on campus you're from genny
their first response is universally "fuck you"
š

omggg
it's so funny
I would kill to be at genese
I was so excited about Ed because my tour guides told us that Ed students like got to pick
i actually got the luckiest package to rochetser
And they stopped that this year I guess??
early admit for an RD
That sucks ugh
and random housing in genesse
yeah rip
I didnt ed but i feel ur pain
Wow rly nice
R sophomores still in dorms or nah
I mean I donāt think ED students should get first pick lmfao
Wdym they canāt reject financial
as in like
you have less a say in finaid
but i think you can reject for financial
Well if u ed then u gotta accept what they give u bc ur committed (or ur gonna go)
I think
No it has to be financially feasible isnāt it? Like you can get out of ED if u canāt pay?
LACs are so cruel
true
but like
if it's expensive
but you can pay it
you have to go
compare that for RD for me
Iām rly not getting how EDāers are worse off financially
Iām debating on if I should get a job this summer
i just choked
Idk to pay something off even if itās to set aside money for leisure activities
I feel burnt out ngl
okay do something brainless
But nobody in my fam thinks burnout is real so early lol
go ez on urself. Do activities at the local library maybe
asian family moment...
š hate immigrant parents
No literally
I got the best from both worlds one is Indian the other Vietnamese
So
Double the anxiety
Yikes
oh sheesh
that's an intense combination
my chinese parents r actually rlly chill
which is awesome
nice
My parents are relatively chill
Keyword
Relatively
My mom played a big role in motivating me in high school and Iām rly lucky to have my dad bc he knows how med school works
But itās still hard
Like
Iām in physics c rn and multivariable calc so
Life is a struggle
physics c gave me trauma
not bc of the subject
but the teacher
chose cs just so i don't have to do physics š
@serene stump
My teacher is the most wonderful teacher Iāve ever had
But his tests are so hard
atp i know that no matter how much I study I wonāt get As on his tests
No but like what time of day
Sorry for pinging u so much
oh
uh
lemme check
i need to find my update email
holdon
mine was
i'll show ss
1/27 2 pm
est
Oh my gosh I didnāt realize this was you
I thought decisions came outš
lmaooo
!swarthmore
Swarthmore College decisions come out <t:1679094000> in your local time
3 days, 6 hours and 42 minutes until the decision date
last year ppl typed this at 5pm
3 more days!!
thereās no uroch command bc no exact time
They comin out today hopefully?!?!š©
How do you know??
huh???
no chance
where do you see this?
Collegecondfidential
Says the 15th
But idk
And one of my friends supposedly heard it from someone at uroch (cant rlly verify that) so take it as a grain of salt š
š
lmfao if they came out today thatād be nice
I just called the admissions office and asked
The lady had to go ask someone and then she came back and said that they're still making decisions and they haven't decided on a notification date yet
she said within the next 2 weeks
@hybrid field @red bane @vapid bough etc.
Damn. This means that they arenāt releasing their decisions this Friday.
What the fuck
I was gearing up for this emotionally noooooo
thanks though ;-; appreciate the notification
although last year it released on 18th right? so like, idk why it's apparently taking so much longer
maybe she was just BSing me I'm not sure
We'll see I guess
itās possible
they donāt rly email u w portal update, right? You just need to check?
I mean she kinda said "I'm not sure let me go ask" and came back after a couple minutes though
so she definitely asked someone
right yeah
im thinking maybe they wanna be safe and not confirm anything officially
yeah
but anyways keep expectations low ig
yeah I don't think it'll be friday
bruh
i was so excited
admitted students day is april 1
so they must release decisions at least a week before that
right
Thereās a few admitted students days but probably
i'm hoping for you to get into uroch more than im hoping for myself to get in š
thanksss
yes
i am quite interested in Rochester as an NYC kid
7 hours by train is far from family but not TOO far yk?
I used to be an nyc kid haha
what changed lol
I moved š
naurrrr
unlucky
i'm the opposite
moved from the SF Bay Area to Manhattan halfway through my junior year
best thing to ever happen to me ong
do you miss the city?
SO much
I loved living in a city
I applied Ed to an nyc school and didnāt get in so š
oh nooooo š¦
But Iām so happy with Rochester
š
Itās the prettiest place ever
good ending
i gotta visit if i get in
even if I don't end up committing
it'll be a fun Amtrak ride nonetheless
what's your major?
You?
Computer Engineering (š)
the MIT rejection was a good meme, but now I await responses from schools where I have a fighting chance
augh
Thinking the 17th tho
i had to give them an update for new ecs like literally a day AGO
I called the admissions office today and they said within the next 1-2 weeks so
prolly not friday
phew
Yeah sorry Iāve just thought it was the seventeenth the past. Week so
Also I expect u guys to ping me as soon as decisions come out
yeah pls me too
hoping for friday
Like you get a decision? Donāt open it ping me instead
ALDO
if you get in read the letter carefully because they personalize part of it (:
Really? Augh thatās so cute
I donāt even remember what my Roch supps were about
That was fully a lifetime ago
does it go to urochester?
Also if anyone wants to send me their why Rochester essay Iād love to read
I like hearing good things about it 
It goes to Rochester at least
Yea me too
oh if you wanna read mine
i had a very quirky essay
id argue my essay this year was much better
but last years was funny
folks iām gonna leave the server for now! if any rochester folks need any help or want advice or info abt the school, pls dm me!
Gonna miss u
aww
yeah tyey do
oh yeah the school does, I thought you meant like an admissions instagram
Wow ur so right
Oh shit you're right, my b
Thatās our bad yea
Wait so where did they say 17
Doesn't say a decision date though it seems
Couldāve been on story
ye^ maybe
Yea
Iāll repeat this again but I called them yesterday
And they said
They donāt know yet
Within next 1-2 weeks
tf
Bc theyāre still deciding
ok theyre dumb
Like the person I was callin was like ummm I have no idea let me go ask
And then she came back and said that
Boutta give everyone the āThank you for applying to the University of Rochester. This year, the admissions committee received a record breaking number of applicationsā¦ā
Yep the css award date has been showing 17th since the start.
W
Is this usually accurate?
Come out today?
ME TOOO
"approximate date"
Any news?
no, someone was responding to me abt award dates but they deleted their messages in chat for some reason
does anyones portal have enroll now on it?? mine shows it and i didnt have that before
DO YOU THINK THEY ACCIDENTALLY LEAKED
perhaps šļøšļø
unless everyone has that
we need to get some more people to check
mhmhm
it might officially be coming out later today anyways then
yep same
i clicked the enroll thing and it did nothing
AAAA I ALSO HAVE IT
šļø
interestingā¦ā¦ā¦..
wait.
okay we dont know..
we'll find out for sure later
should i call and ask whats going on w my portal lmao
im not
i am
no cause then theyāll fix it LMAO
okok
Me
portal glitches been ruining all my surprises lately
Does any international have the enroll now button?
i don't not sure abt the other
augh i lowk wanna call n hear their explanation
I donāt have it too
well either way i think that button means decisions will be very soon
so letās not get ahead of ourselves
Yeah I am guessing that they will release today.
yep same
They have uploaded all the decisions if the enroll now button can be seen.
Yooo thatās crazy
ig the theory is true though cuz my slate has stopped updating since 6th march a rejection is reasonable to speculate
i donāt have it either as an intl guys iām going to cry
We all probably got rejected. Cries in sad intl tears
decisions will be out soon anyways do not fret 
computers are just crazy zee sometimes
š¤
but idk when i will fret until i pull all of my hair outššš
wait what do the last updated time for your uroch slate say
I hope so but feels like copium now
maybe that means waitlist
I have neither lol.
i see both
Probably reject then.
What?
This seems all too confusing. I will just log off and wait till decisions.
i have both test scores & enroll now
like next to eachother?
can you send a pic š¤Ø
im at school rn dont mind the shitty laptopšš
oh what the heck
i think its because I submitted test scores
OH YA
šš
lmaooo
I got it too before acceptance
i have enroll now but not test scores and i submitted test scores
we're not sure yet but praying it means that
NO FUCKINGG WAYYY
however i am on mobile so might be on desktop
No assumption tho guys
Oh my God
Letās all breatheeeee
if itās even a target idk
I just need to find an intl who has the enroll now button. Then I will be sure of my rejection.
maybe itās a reach???
its a reach!!!! i think bc its a t50
Itās acceptance rate is like 40 right
yayy
omg NO WAY
I am intl and I donāt have it
then my first reach acceptance????
this is crazy
esp bc i want to do english and theater and a cappella and they have amazing opportunities there
wait tho I thought reach is for a school w less than 25% acceptance rate
yess please any intl tell us if you got the enroll bottom so i can kms rnšš»šš»
But ig definition is fluid and diff for everyone
im praying this enroll now thing is true ive been wanting roch since freshman year LOL
Yeah I am yet to find an intl who has the enroll now button. I asked in intl2usa too.
Dude acapella is insane there
I saw so many groups
i have the enroll now button
oh huh interesting
reach IMO isnāt entirely acceptance rate bc obviously more people apply to more well known schools and rochester is a bit lowkey
it was 29.6%
but its admissions is rly competitive
intls having nothing together: 
did you send an official score report?
I MNOW
yesyes
WAIT RLY? for acceptance rate?! Why does internet show 40
thru collegebord
Damn wait I didnāt realize it was so selective
perhaps thatās like some weird glitch that shows what the official test score file looks like on their end
Are you intl? Congrats on getting in
no. domestic
letās not say congrats yet please
im domestic 2 and have it
this is just speculation
yeah, i dont want to jinx it
(and speculation i should be stopping
)
mine also has enroll now 𤯠(domestic)
Intl and don't have it
so it very well just could be a random glitch
Really hope so
it really could be bc some of my friends who were accepted along w me didnāt recall seeing it until after accepted
did anyone press the button
i donāt have the button damn šš
if it even is dropping today my bet is in 1-2 hours
Go to sleep
I can't
Its alm 3am hereš

guyssss
uroch said f ur sleep
No fr
2 hours left then
Gl eveyrone
why have all of my college decisions dropped while im at work :C
denied from hopkins š¤š¤š¤š¤
NOOOO
thats okay theyre missing out
when did uroch decisions drop last year and what time?
i remember someone talking about it earlier
any int'l getting the enroll button?
Mine came out this yr at 7
thatās so late š
ohhhhh
none as of now
So like this maybe doesnāt apply
Oh yeah you were REMS
OH PHEW
Anyways I wouldnāt put anything on the Enroll button
Other than probably coming today lmfao
did everyone domestic get that
yeah me neither
seems like all the domestics have gotten it
except for one person i think wait
are you domestic 
i looked through the discord and last year ppl were taking about it at 5pm est at the earliest
yeah
oooo okay
they prob just had a 100% acceptance rate this year š
congrats guys
Do yāall think theyāre 30% acceptance rate again this year like last year
it was 40 last year
depends on how many applied this year
it was 29.6%
cappp
