<p>has anyone gotten rejected? it seems every single person on here got in</p>
<p>also, my school went 19/19 for students who applied to UR, which is unheard of at other schools... i thought rochester was a selective school</p>
<p>Haha.. I had this question b4!!</p>
<p>Please see one of my other threads:
UR is a selective school, but because so many Ivy Leaguers use UR as a saftey, admissions admits A LOT of students (close to half). With only a 20% yield, they have to admit a lot of students if they want to fill their freshmen class</p>
<p>actually, I'm quite confused about the definition of admit rates. Does it mean even a student isn't up to their standards, but because they have to be sure the class is full, they will admit him/her anyway?</p>
<p>yea my school seems the same way! past classes almost everyone who applied got accepted, but i heard it was really selective school too.</p>
<p>yah...its a really complicated thing - but its very reassuring to hear from nearly EVERYONE that UR is a great place to be. I haven't heard a single person have a single bad thing to say about the University of Rochester (people've been asking me where i plan on going and whenever i say UR - they get really impressed and all). And yet I haven't heard a single rejection yet...and with a 49% acceptance rate - wow lol.</p>
<p>lol.. but if u look around CC, u find that an overwhleming majority is in the top 50% of applicants, so it's hardly surprising.</p>
<p>yeah the sat average is a 1350 on princeton review</p>
<p>though at my school, anyone on honor roll + 1200 minimum virtually is guaranteed to get in</p>
<p>Well also, it's really intimidating to post about getting deferred or rejected when it seems like evvveryone else on the forum got in. I posted when I got deferred ED from Vassar and I was the ONLY one...and Vassar is more selective than UR. Trust me, it feels crappy. </p>
<p>I would definitely post after that experience because I know how it feels to be the only one, but I can totally understand why someone wouldn't. Also, some people find the forum after they get in so that they can talk to other students.</p>
<p>u know, i was just at the WUSTL board, looking at their decision threads. for the first 6 pages (out of 9), there was nothing but acceptances. then, on page 6 the first negative decision came, and after that, every third post was negative. </p>
<p>in other words, ppl will only post negative news once they aren't the first ones. it takes someone courageous to post the first one, and it doesn't happen for a long time.</p>
