<p>The current president of UR came from WUSTL. So I think that UR will probably be ranked higher soon if he brought some "tricks" with him. Overall, UR's research and Ph.D. programs are well regarded!</p>
<p>Wow, that is impressive - the more I look into UR, the more interested i get... Things seem to be on the move there, especially if what Cj3051 said (above) is true. </p>
<p>Plus I just read an article about UR being the true birthplace of a new Cervical Cancer Vaccine - currently owned by the Merck Pharmaceutical Company - <a href="http://www.rochester.edu/pr/Review/V68N3/feature1.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.rochester.edu/pr/Review/V68N3/feature1.html</a>.</p>
<p>The Official City of Rochester website isnt much to look at but the Downtown Rochester website is amazing - I even got a sneak peak at the Chinese restaurants there (nothing worth mentioning in comparison to NYC tho ><) <a href="http://www.rochesterdowntown.com/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.rochesterdowntown.com/index.html</a></p>
<p>Great Faith, Have I in the University of Rochester =)</p>
<p>The weather of course is a shame, but then again i doubt great colleges like Cornell are any better off and people there seem OK with it. I'll deal ^^
(BTW - Temperatures of Low 30 - High 40 are normal this time of year in the Northeast for u western/Midwestern folks XD)</p>
<p>btw - hopeful1 - you certainly are very hopeful in saying that UR may someday be like WUSTL, but if what you say is true then it is very likely that UR will rise in rankings in much the same way. It certainly is encouraging, so Thank you =)</p>
<p>The Idea - PROMOTE THE SCHOOL !</p>
<p>Anyone still to hear back from UR? Many of you have known of your decision for weeks. I called yesterday and the woman in the admissions office said that they were still sending out decisions on a rolling basis in no particular order. Seems like a long time!</p>
<p>Apparently U of R didn't get my SAT scores?</p>
<p>Collegeboard has proof that they sent them back in October and U of R received them in late December. We sent them again today, just to be sure.</p>
<p>I hope that they're understanding. After all, it is their fault.</p>
<p>I"m still waiting too! hmm that can't be good :(</p>
<p>I think all of u should hear this week as the Spring Open Campus for admitted students will start from April 2 (Saturday)!!</p>
<p>Good luck! :)</p>
<p>Yeah, the admin woman I spoke with was kind of evasive about what decisions were still outstanding. I sent my app in after Christmas but before the dead line. Wonder if it made a difference?</p>
<p>waitlisted.</p>
<p>I'm still hopeful, though.</p>
<p>According to the letter, they only waitlist 3% of the applicant pool.</p>
<p>congrat, tabla!</p>
<p>I think you still have a fairly good chance, for they have a very low yield.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Also waitlisted. Got the letter today.</p>
<p>my princeton review says 34% are accepted off the waitlist, so if you write letters and all indicating ur interest in uof r, odds are you will get in.</p>
<p>Yeah. I'm sending a lot of extra work and a subtle "LET ME INNNNNNNN!?!" letter.</p>
<p>GAH! :( here is another waitlist... </p>
<p>Although it wasn't my first choice, I was highly considering it... If I got in and had to pick between that and UCLA, it would be a tough call..</p>
<p>Waitlisted also. I'm a lil glad because they did not totally reject me so that's pretty awesome. I'm gonna send them some additional information though. Maybe update them on my year and such because this school is really high on my list.</p>
<p>Tabla - I really wouldn't worry about the SAT score thing, they've had problems with a lot of people's SATs for some reason this year (or so I heard when I called a long time ago), so I doubt they'll blame you. If you express interest, you'll probably be fine.</p>
