Interestingly enough, if you look at my past posts you can see I commented on this four years ago before started at Rochester. My feelings haven't changed much. It's a ways down the list of past posts called state vs. private schools.

I turned down an alumni scholarship at Upstate five years ago for a spot at U of Rochester with only a $750 scholarship...I matched in EM last week and am leaving with 200,000+ in debt...that $750 didn't go to far. I knew back than that if i took the spot at Upstate it would be strictly for...

Congratulations everyone! I matched at Rochester...my first choice! Yippee. :)

but i have a match list too.... 1. Rochester 2. Albany 3. Syracuse 4. York 5. Christiana 6. Allegheny 7. Camden 8. Akron 9. Jefferson 10. Buffalo can you tell i'm a northeast girl at heart?!!

another little saying that is important to remember... don't compare your insides :eek: to other peoples' outsides :cool: . they often look calm cool and collected and aren't.

I was in that same spot three years ago. I thought i was the only one who didn't get it and I thought i worked as hard as i could for my first test and i actually thought i did ok but than i failed...oops. anyhow, i freaked out for a week or so and than the next block made much more sense to me...

about housing...i agree with above-the other u-housing options are not worth it. first year i lived in university park- paid $570 for a very nice size one bedroom with utilities included (which was great in the winter when i didn't have to worry about leaving the heat up). the place was clean...

Hey Larsitron, We're not too busy...just having too much fun. or something like that. Anyhow, I'm a rochester third year. I found a few friends on this site before I started school. It made orientation day #1 a little less scary. I have loved my Rochester experience and would borrow another...

at rochester this year, it's tomorrow (yes i'm procrastinating instead of studying for my last exam) until august 11th. most students applied for a summer grant to go abroad or stay here and do a research project of their choice. The school gives you $3000 for either. This takes up 8 weeks of...

YES...parking is accessible at all communities as far as I know (I've seen it at Whipple, Goler, UPK, Maisonettes, UTH). You can generally park within 300 yards of your front door (except Goler because it's a huge building...it's still on 300 yards or less to the front door of the building). THe...

Mary Scardetta is a huge help! I'm finishing up first year and can say she did a great job matching people up. i live in university park but that is one of many options...there are about 10 in my class who own houses and rent out rooms to other students to pay the mortgage, also some people...

I'm in my first year at Rochester. Last year when the deadlines were approaching we all were waiting to hear about financial aid packages from the schools we were holding spots from. If you don't hear something soon after the deadline to get back your deposits that the AAMC sets, be assured...

I think what you are going through is totally normal...at least myself and everyone I have talked to (esp. right after the MCAT) thought that there is no shot we'd ever get into medical school. Personally, I hadn't really ever been told i couldn't do something and I was scared to death of...

Oh man...noone is writing...what happens if someone new comes to SDN and this thread is buried under 800 others...they'll never know to come chat with us.... in other words...BUMP <img border="0" alt="[Wowie]" title="" src="graemlins/wowie.gif" />

the letter we got in the packet the other day said see you on the 12th so that's what i'm guessing!!! Next chat is set for Wednesday at 8pm....we chose an earlier time for those who have to be up really really early! eek. It's been really great to get to know everyone...going to med school...
