<p>I was accepted and placed an enrollment deposit down for rochester, but I was accepted off the waitlist of my first choice and will be going there instead. How do I notify Rochester and give up my place (so hopefully someone on their waitlist will have a chance!)</p>
<p>Call your assigned admissions counselor and tell him/her. Then follow that up with an email notification.</p>

<p>Just curious…what was your first choice school?</p>
<p>From a different thread on May 6. I don’t think this will help any wait-listed folks.</p>

<p>The entering Class of 2017 will once again be Rochester’s largest-, best-qualified, and most interesting ever. We have received about 8% more deposits than we wanted or anticipated, and now we expect a final enrolled Class exceeding the 1,200 student goal by a lot, likely much closer to 1,300. We will be able to house all of the freshmen, but we’re expecting to help most of the new transfer students find their accommodations nearby off-campus instead.</p>
<p>Deposits have arrived from 48 states, DC, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Northern Marianas, as well as 71 other countries.</p>
<p>For the first time in Rochester’s history, the most common academic interest among incoming students is one of our many engineering options rather than a biological sciences option. Interest in mathematics, film and digital media studies, music, international relations and our several public health options has also grown compared to a year ago.</p>
<p>The deposits suggest a Class that will once again be 50/50 male/female. 68% will be from outside New York State. 49% will be White, Non-Hispanic, 7% Hispanic, 5% African-American, 9% Asian-American and close to 20% visa-holding international students.</p>
<p>As of today the average GPA of incoming students (unweighted) is >3.8 and the average SAT has increased more than 20 points. About 40 students are enrolling via the new “test-flexible” option, presenting (outstanding) results from A-level, AP, or IB exams instead.</p>
<p>Welcome to everyone! Welcome to the family! We’re having a prolonged, warm, beautiful spring in Rochester, but amid the barbecues and golf days I’m already more excited about your arrival in August.</p>
