<p>Financial Aid & Scholarships</p>
<p>Undergraduate</p>

<p>Does anybody know when we will start getting notification about admission??</p>
<p>I am not in the admissions office - I understand that you should expect to hear something on or about April 1st.</p>
<p>What I don’t understand is why they would choose to name so many people semi-finalists and later tell them that they don’t receive anything as opposed to just not having a semi-finalist pool. What a great way to lower their yield…</p>
<p>^^^^
My thoughts exactly</p>
<p>I just found out that this is affiliated to a church. Sh**</p>
<p>Inconspicuous: Nope, UR is no longer affiliated with any church…Yes, it was founded by the Baptists 150+ years ago, but sometime in the mid 1980’s, the ties were severed. The school has an office of the chaplaincy, but it is an outreach department that caters to all: Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim -and- even agnostic students. 'Not to worry, it is no longer the land of the “bible thumper”!</p>
<p>Phew! I’m Baptist, but given my past, I know how I react to bible thumping so I stear clear. Thanks!</p>
<p>UR called and asked a lot of specific info on financial aid. Does that mean they probably accepted me?</p>
