<p>Does Rochester send your notifications of acceptance by email? I put my boarding school address as the mailing address and since I am on vacation right now I wouldn't know if I get any letters in the mail. Has any accepted students receive emails then?</p>
<p>My D received an e-mail today asking for further financial information. Is that a good sign this late in the process? The odd thing is that we already sent this information before the deadline so it makes me nervous. I will send it all again though.</p>
<p>^^ It has to be a good sign. They won' go through the hassle of looking through your daughter's file and notifying you that's something missing if she was a bad candidate. Does that make sense? I might have made it confusing.</p>
<h1>2 son heard from a coach that he got in - but no letters yet :(</h1>
<p>Thanks Spartan, your logic makes perfect sense. I just hope you are right.
Do you think that the RD acceptances will have the financial aid package attached?</p>
<p>doesn't anyone else think it's kind of odd that no one has posted acceptances in a week and a half? it sure doesn't seem like the "waves" are coming very often...and if you call they still say everything should go out around mid-March...hmmmm.....it's the 19th....Rochester, are you listening???</p>
<p>i think its weird</p>
<p>the schools been out for spring break this past week, so maybe admissions was closed</p>
<p>so this week and next week open</p>
<p>Okay, if they had sent out a wave yesterday, surely SOMEONE would have gotten an acceptance by now. </p>
<p>This is getting ridiculous. Accepted students are receiving and discussing the FA packages they've been receiving over the last week and a half, while the rest of the applicants are left hanging.</p>
<p>I'm beginning to wonder if they had a major systems crash and data loss or something...even so, they ought to have daily backups...</p>
<p>Relax..mail from my school (that's right across my street) takes 2 days to reach me. </p>
<p>Letters sent from Rochester will take twice if not thrice that. Especially if you live far away.</p>
<p>well i live in rochester so i will probably be the first one to hear from the next wave, i hope. my high school is just minutes away from UoR, on the same street.</p>
<p>They changed the notification date. It is now by April 1st. No longer Mid-March.</p>
<p>Really? Where?</p>
<p>Regular Decision Freshman, Fall Semester
All Application Materials: January 1 (December 15 recommended for international applicants)
Notification Date: by April 1
Your Response Required: May 1 </p>
<p>And with no explanation whatever? They could have sent out an email, at least.</p>
<p>Nice. Really nice. </p>
<p>Way to win friends and influence people.</p>
<p>It's not as bad as Harvard cancelling transfer applications for the next two years 5 days AFTER the transfer application deadline, but it indicates a lack of regard for applicants. Or at least for the people they didn't deign to include in the first wave.</p>
<p>Yup, so we still have twin A accepted mid-March, and no answer at all for Twin B....</p>
<p>I'm thinking they had a major computer glitch and lost their list of who was supposed to get accepted and who was supposed to get rejected and had to start re-reviewing all the remaining applications.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I got in, I just think it's kind of crazy that they make some people wait so much longer than others. My friend got her response a few weeks ago and I applied earlier than she did. I just got accepted into U Chicago. How funny would it be if I got in there (top 10 school incountry) and got rejected from Rochester?</p>
<p>I called the admissions office to update my contact info and they were not helpful at all regarding when the next wave of letters was to be sent. I moved and have a new address, so I wanted to know if they sent it to my old house and I never got it, but they couldn't even tell me that.</p>
<p>this is really ridiculous! i just want my letter. was the notification date always listed as april 1st online?</p>
<p>Sarahhs--no, it said mid-March. They simply changed it at some point, probably in the last week.</p>
<p>Soproud--I share your thoughts re computer glitch, BUT I think that if that is the case they should have issued an email blast or put something on their website. People understand technical difficulties. They don't like being jerked around. I would point out, though, that any competent IT management would be doing daily incremental backups at least, and that restoring data should not take two weeks. Perhaps a delay involved in rechecking decisions to make sure that nothing fell through the cracks between backups--that I can understand. It's almost enough to make me wonder if they discovered systemic sabotage or something....</p>
<p>In any case, your situation, with one twin accepted and the other waiting, sounds simply excruciating! My sympathies to you...</p>
