hey everyone,

i’m an undergraduate student in the university of rochester rems program. i know that i got a lot of help from this forum when i was applying to schools, and i noticed that there isn’t a thread here for rems. if anyone has any questions (about the timeline, applications, financial aid, the program itself, whatever) i’d be happy to answer questions.

as an overview:

the rochester early medical scholar’s program is an 8 year guaranteed program. mcats are not necessary, and you can apply out if you so choose. it offers a lot of flexibility, research opportunities, etc. i honestly think that what deters a lot of people from applying to the program is 1) weather (im from the west coast, so i’ll be the first to say it’s very different, but it’s not actually that big of a deal to me) and 2) that they havent heard about it. i didnt think for a second that id be attending rochester until i visited the campus for interviews and had a great experience, so keep an open mind and ask questions!
