<p>I am looking into University of Rochester and I was wondering if they were good at offering need-based and merit-based aid. Typically what students get this aid? Does it seem to follow the rule that those with SAT scores that put them in the top 25% are at a higher chance of receiving it?</p>
<p>Thank you for any information.</p>
