[@annaz894]

Hi! I'm attending Rochester as a freshman this fall, and I was wondering if you would recommend double majoring? Do you think the workload you have is stressful?

[@Gooth]

In general, it kind of depends on the major. For my two majors, it hasn’t been too bad and the workload in general is pretty manageable. But if you decide to do pre-med or a heavy STEM major like neuroscience or BME, you may find it harder to manage, in which case double majoring probably won’t be a good idea

[@Gooth]

Also, congratulations!

[@BBVictini1]

It is important to note though, that the open curriculum lends itself very well to double majoring in feilds from two of the three different disciplines (STEM, Social Sciences, Humanities). Ex. My roommate is double-majoring in Linguistics and BCS, and the only courses he has to take outside of those are 3 humanities classes.

Hello, I am currently applying for PhD in translational biomedical sciences at University of Rochester. I have just completed my masters in biotechnology from Amity University (2020-2022). I am not aware of the acceptance rate of the university for international students. But I am still applying, hope I get selected 🤞🙃

[@hamzachaudhry8729]

Any opinion pertaining to difficulty of maintains a solid GPA? Is it difficult to maintain a 3.8 in humanities at the UofRochester? I heard it doesn’t have inflation nor deflation.

[@Gooth]

It’s not too difficult to maintain a strong GPA if you pick your classes right and maintain good study/work habits. There isn’t really grade inflation or deflation here, except for a few classes

[@eliafaith]

How well do you know about their film or digital media courses? I plan to apply but can't really feel much of how they'll work for me in terms of environment and opportunity...

[@Gooth]

I know the DMS program is pretty well-liked and some of my friends have enjoyed it so far. It’s definitely not a USC or NYU-caliber film program (those are some of the top undergraduate film programs), but you can get a lot out of it if you’re proactive and put in the time.

Hey Gooth , first of all congrats man! I wanted to know one thing, please help me with this Do they provide scholarships (merot based) or financial aid for international students who want to pursue an undergraduate degree I'm from India ,junior year in high school.

Can you double-major accross areas? Example business and humanities

do the university offer scholarship , do you recieved the scholarship?

[@BBVictini1]

They do! I am a student right now, and I received the Bausch + Lomb Scholarship, which is very sizeable. Furthermore, I received a large amount of need-based aid, though I am aware this is different. I also know of many others who have received a wide variety of scholarships, some small, some very large.

I didn't have an interview when I applied. It's recommended if U of R is one of your top choices but completely optional.

[@michaelc4917]

Daughter just got into U of R, she loves epidemiology in highschool, but what is the job prospect after you graduated with this major?

[@infectdiseaseepidemiology2599]

As a professor of epidemiology in a top program, I can tell you that the job prospects are great-ideally with at least a master’s and better yet with a PhD or equivalent, depending on what you want to do. But there are many prospects, esp in rural health depts, with an undergrad degree.

[@Gooth]

hi anisha

[@jaisonwilliams674]

Your field of study is very specific, especially being that you just finished your freshman year. How did you know you wanted to study data science and epidemiology? I recognize that in combination these degrees can be used together for very specialized fields.

[@Gooth]

I'll actually be making a video on this shortly but basically, I've always had an interest in CS and in high school, I aspired to use my future CS knowledge in the medical field without having to attend med school. At U of R, the DS majors and epidemiology majors not only had a lot of overlap but also seemed to best fit my interests. It also helped that Rochester is one of the only schools with an epidemiology undergraduate major so that may help me stand out in the future!

[@losd7629]

Hi there! Just got accepted as a first year transfer but the school classified me as class of 2024. Since I’ll basically restart college, is it easy to change majors at U of R?

[@Gooth]

Congrats! Changing majors isn’t too difficult; you only have to submit an approval form and once it’s approved, you should be good.

[@boxes8652]

Hi! Is UofR good for international students?

[@vikiluch99]

I am epidemiologist from Moscow (MS) is it possible to apply on PhD in Epidemiology? And if my TOEFL score would less than 90?

[@Gooth]

Hi, thanks for reaching out! I’m not too sure if URochester has specific TOEFL requirements but I would definitely recommend reaching out to a professor in the epidemiology department and expressing your interest. Here’s a link to the PhD program: www.urmc.rochester.edu/education/graduate/phd/epidemiology.aspx

@@Gooth thank you 🙏

[@to6ky-m5u]

do you personally find the school to be safe??

[@Gooth]

The school itself has been pretty safe; I've never had any issues with safety on campus. With that being said, there are some areas of the cities that are definitely unsafe but they are far enough away that it's pretty easy to avoid. I would say the campus overall is definitely pretty safe.

[@mgarg4112]

job oppurtunities after graduating?

[@Gooth]

I can’t really speak from experience but I’m sure the opportunities are similar to other top-ranked schools. In the end, it’s more about your proactiveness and work ethic than about which school you attend.
