<p>I applied from California, and UR are not obligated to notify you until April 1 and beyond. The reason why RD people are getting notifs now is because UR has already processed them and is trying to reduce the sudden wave of everything. I’m positive you’ll get in, compare yourself to my stats that I posted 2 pages’ish in this thread.</p>
<p>Thank you for your words! My GPA is 3.6is and SAT is 2000. UR is my dream school too!</p>
<p>Accepted!

General Comments:
I have gotten substantial FA from other similar ranked schools–have to see what Rochester offers. Rochester is a great school–I have to see what the money works out to.</p>
<p>my daughter was accepted yesterday (VA) - no financial aid package included - am i to assume it will come at a later time? there was no mention of it in the acceptance.</p>
<p>You should get it on URoch acct under tab marked merit (or like that) in 1-2 weeks.</p>
<p>Yeah, I read they’ll email us in 7-10 days when the FA is ready.</p>
<p>My daughter’s merit scholarship is shown as of today. I can’t find the FA though.</p>
<p>Finally got my acceptance letter via mail today, must be like the last one here lol but yayyy accepted! :)</p>
<p>@hereweareagain can you share stats/merit amount? I am anxiously waiting for any notification of merit. How long did it take you to get the merit notification from the day you got accepted?</p>
