Those serious about getting into Rochester will first read my article “How to get into the Ivy League - Ethically.” While Rochester is not an Ivy League college, many of those applying to Rochester for Regular Decision will be doing so after having just gotten rejected from Ivy League colleges. These are high achieving students, so you need to compete with them. If you are applying ED, you would be wise to build your profile and application to an Ivy League standard in order to seal the deal at Rochester.

University of Rochester Supplemental Short Essay Prompts (Expert Tips Included in Video)
Part 1 - 250 word limit - REQUIRED
The University of Rochester motto of Meliora - or “ever better” - deeply integrates critical core values into all that we do. These core values of equity, leadership, integrity, openness, respect and accountability define not only who we are, but also who we hope to become. Please use the space below to highlight a time, creative idea or research experience when you put into action one or more of these characteristics in order to make yourself, your community or the world ever better.
Part 2 (choose one of the four options below) - 200 word limit - REQUIRED
1. American social reformer, abolitionist, writer and statesman Frederick Douglass said, “Some know the value of education by having it. I knew its value by not having it.” Explain ways in which your background, educational experience, and opportunities have directly influenced you and your ability to do good in the world. What specific moments of growth, lessons learned, and resilience in your life have prepared you to promote positive change for your community and the world?
2. Dr. Donna Strickland, University of Rochester alum and 2018 Nobel Prize winner in Physics said, “There’s no point in me being anything other than me.” The University of Rochester encourages each student to embrace the intersectionality of their identity and create their own individual curricular path and experience. What qualities and experiences make you the best version of yourself? What unique elements of your background, perspectives, and experiences will you bring to our community?
3. Susan B. Anthony, champion of abolition and women’s rights, once said “Organize, agitate, educate must be our war cry.” As you look to join our community of doers and disruptors, in what ways do you envision using both the curricular flexibility and co-curricular opportunities to invoke change for marginalized groups? How has your unique lived experience shaped you and prepared you to be a changemaker here?
4. The University of Rochester benefactor, entrepreneur, photography pioneer and philanthropist George Eastman said, “What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.” How have the ways you’ve spent your time enabled you to grow as a person? What challenges have helped define you and your role within your community(s)?
Final Important Note:
Though I didn't mention in the video above, it's worth noting that you should do everything in your power to INTERVIEW with University of Rochester! While interviews are not required, they are recommended for Rochester's admissions team to get to you know you better. They really do want to get to know the person behind the application at Rochester. Here are my past videos specifically about college admissions interviews:

This is great information for those of us applying to the University of Rochester, but unfortunately for me, I submitted my online application yesterday. However I will still write some essays and upload them to the upload additional information section to boost my chances of getting admission into my dream school.

The supplements question are difficult to answer.
Great information! Thankyou! I am interested in REMS BSMD program.
Please talk about it International students too
I suggest you watch my videos specifically focused on the biggest mistakes that international students make when applying to American colleges and universities, which serve as a nice adjunct to my "How to get into" videos for international students. The first video in that series can be found at czcams.com/video/oN1SCq1vgII/video.html and one specifically discussing TOEFL, IELTS, and DET can be found at czcams.com/video/w6ncquVwslw/video.html. Good luck.
Can we submit our IELTS score after the closing application deadline.. is there any possibility??
Possibly; get it in as soon as possible. Some colleges allow students to upload IELTS to their admissions portals; others require students to have official scores sent from school or testing agency. Good luck.
