<p>Award winners receive notification about 2 weeks after all finalists have completed their interviews. (NOTE: while most finalists are interviewed during Ren weekend, some international finalists are interviewed later and thus notifications may not be sent out exactly 2 weeks post Ren weekend. Generally, however, decisions are out by mid April.)</p>
<p>When we were there we were told that they will mail out decisions this upcoming Monday. Good luck to everyone (:</p>
<p>ohgod. e-mail or snail mail?</p>
<p>btw, do you know if it is possible to reapply to rochester after a gap year (being admitted) and qualify for Renaissance again?</p>
<p>ogar-you really need to call the admission office and ask.</p>
<p>I agree - call admissions. Ask about deferring for a year, not reapplying.</p>
<p>ok, thx for info. we’ll see in a week or so if it’s necessary (;</p>
<p>anyway, does anyone know how much weight do they place on finalist’s interviews? I’m just curious (cause I have no idea if mine was ok)</p>
<p>Interviews count for A LOT. As I understand the process, everyone comes into the interviews with equal standing.</p>
<p>I am very excited to announce that the Renaissance Scholarship decision letters have just been mailed! This happened at 11:30 am EST on Friday, April 6th. </p>
<p>Start checking your mailbox next week! Good luck to all of the finalists. </p>
<p>Only you know how fast letters can reach your location when they are sent from Rochester, NY, so please adjust the expectation of your letter’s arrival accordingly.</p>
<p>When will the online financial aid site be updated to reflect any changes as a result of the decisions?</p>
<p>Thanks for the update, Tyler!</p>
<p>No problem, PinotNoir!</p>
<p>midwesternmom, the Renaissance letters have all been mailed today. I have just been told by the Financial Aid counselors that revised financial aid packages will be emailed to these Renaissance finalists next week (by Friday).</p>
<p>I GOT IT 
I am inexpressibly relieved and excited at the same time !! it’s really a dream-come true for me.</p>
<p>So what do we have to do at the interview? How different will it be from the admissions interview? </p>
<p>The scholarship interview focuses more on what diversity/activism/specialness will you bring to UR. More on how you will impact life at UR.</p>
