I applied for the business program. It’s in the bottom half of my priority list so I am using it as a safety kinda. The thing about rochester is that I don’t like how it’s in the middle of nowhere. I desperately want to transfer to a school in an urban setting.
@darkhound173 Where else did you apply? Honestly I’m coming from a community college so I’m still in shock. All my schools were reaches haha
Congrats @Shoumei @darkhound173 ! How did you guys receive your decision? Also, do they inform you about FA/merit with the acceptance letter?
@Strictly56 Thank you!!
I got an email saying my admissions decision was ready and a link to the application portal. The portal had been updated with another link that leads to the acceptance letter. I haven’t received anything about Financial Aid yet, but I hope they send it soon because I need to know whether I can actually go or not haha.
Yes, same! They sent me an email informing me that my decision was ready. I called the FA office and they said they will give FA packages 2-3 weeks after acceptance.
@Shoumei I am coming from a top 50 school. I definitely think all the schools im applying to are reaches since I have a 3.3 GPA. I have applied to USC, UNC, BC, UVA, UMich, Emory, Northeastern, and Rochester. How about you?
@darkhound173 Nice choices! I applied to Stanford, Duke, Rochester, UPenn, Columbia, Yale, and Trinity College
@Shoumei Good luck man! I hope everything goes well for you! 
Hi, guys! Usually after how many weeks will the decision come out after the application is complete?
I think they sent their applications around November. Congrats on getting in by the way!
I recently emailed my interviewer and she told me the decisions are Rolling, so they probably haven’t gotten to our applications yet. I sent mine on the deadline.
Since the decisions are rolling would it not be too late to interview? Am I stretching things too far?
You could try! They said transfer applicants should interview in the Spring and it is still Spring, right? Perhaps email someone and see what they say
Just got my fin aid package and they gave me enough money! I can afford Rochester
Do you think they will release another round of decisions today?
@Shoumei Was ir a nice package? Did it include loans? Are you a domestic applicant? I apologize for all the questions! I am kinda of curious since I applied for FA too (Congrats by the way! Is Rochester your top choice?)
Just got my FA package! It’s definitely affordable for me too! Going to UR might actually be a real possibility. I am a low income student and I received a ton of FA. I have to only cover like 5k in loans every year and that’s pretty much it. University of Rochester has great FA awards in my opinion.
@jerrythemoose It was a nice package! I’m a little confused because I can’t tell if it includes my PTK scholarship, but I’m going to contact the FA office next week about it. I’m low income as well, but the estimated cost of attendance without loans is either 8k or 18k depending on the PTK scholarship. The award did also include loans, but they were separate from the grants and scholarships. I am a domestic applicant – I live in Connecticut.
Rochester isn’t my first choice, but I would definitely enjoy going there! Stanford is my top choice 
In the end it’s just going to come down to where I get accepted and who gives me the most money.
@Shoumei My cost of attendance in my FA package showed 57K. However, I searched online and it says the cost of attendance is 67K? Does our FA package not include room and board or something? Why is it so low?
Also, my first choice right now is USC, UMich, or UVA. If it doesn’t work out, then I guess I may have to go to URochester.
@darkhound173 my cost of attendance was 64K, I think they just try to estimate it based on the CSS and FAFSA information and major? If you scroll all the way down it shows a couple other options for cost possibilities and mine were all in the 70,000 range. I think it mostly depends on housing
Is it that all we need to do is waiting after the application status is complete? Will AO send any email to tell us the application is complete?
