"Applicants to the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry are bright, diverse, and talented men and women who are drawn to the medical profession by their love of learning and commitment to serve others. In addition to a sound foundation in the sciences, entering Rochester students often have participated in significant community service, have had exposure to clinical work, and have been active in research.
The unique balance and open learning environment fostered by our academic medical community feed upon the rich diversity each new class of matriculants brings to Rochester, further enhancing the educational experiences that will shape our graduates' lives as competent, caring medical professionals."
