Sorry I've been away...

<p>Hi, all. I have been traveling for work for the last week and am realizing as I peruse the site that I have a large volume of posts to respond to. I will be working throughout Monday and Tuesday to answer your questions, and apologize for not being more prompt. April has been crazy! I should have more time this week, so continue to post if you have pressing questions, or send me a PM. If I can't answer your questions I will try to find someone who can. Thanks - Mike.</p>

<p>Whoo. I just have one question MConklin and that is how many students usually have different financial aid after freshman year. I got some money after an appeal and am worried that I might be forced to pay more after this year is completed. Basically, do you have an estimated percentage of kids whose financial aid changes from year to year?</p>

<p>This might have been answered already, but I was wondering when students register for classes, because I heard you don’t register during orientation…
Thanks!</p>

<p>you do register for classes during orientation.</p>

<p>You will get the chance to pre-register for certain classes in mid-July. (Psych, Bio, Chem, Math, freshman writing, etc.)</p>

<p>You will also get a packet with a listing of the various course offerings and instructions on how to create a student registrar account. You will also be asked to submit a writing sample that will be assessed to determine your placement in the freshman writing classes.</p>

<p>Your actual registration, however, won’t be complete until you meet with your assigned advisor during freshman orientation.</p>

<p>And then there’s an add/drop period.</p>

<p>Sounds great; thanks!</p>

<p>Yes… students register for classes during orientation. You must speak with your Academic Advisor before registering.</p>

<p>Sharath 192… I don’t have an exact statistic for you. I have only spoken with one student who had her financial aid packaged altered, despite her family’s relatively consistent financial situation. She and her father sat down with her financial aid counselor who consequently made the adjustments she needed to be sure that she could continue to attend.</p>

<p>I have a question about how the interviews work. Since I live in an extremely small area in Ohio, would I travel to the nearest major city? (for me it would be Toledo or Cleveland since im an hour from both) Or would I travel to New York for the interview?</p>

<p>The admission representatives travel. If one is visiting schools/college fairs near where you live, you may interview with him/her. If one isn’t visiting your area, then you may interview with UR alumni.</p>

<p>You don’t need to travel to NY to interview, though if you plan to visit the campus, you should schedule an interview as part of your visit.</p>

<p>You can check on the admissions page (by creating and signing into your myROC account) to see if any of the ad reps will be near your area and schedule an interview. Otherwise, you can request an interview also through your myROC account.</p>

<p>Our family lives very far from NY. (2000 miles) My d interviewed with an ad rep at a hotel near the only major airport in the state.</p>

<p>WayOutWestMom… did I interview your daughter? I think I may have! I would have interviewed in your town in the fall of 2007.</p>

<p>Ohioman2011… We actually have an admissions counselor living in the midwest. He travels extensively throughout the summer and fall to offer interviews, and it wouldn’t surprise me to find that he is offering interviews somewhere close to home. If you send me a PM I can put you in touch with him.</p>

<p>Yes you did, Mike. She interviewed with you in the fall of 2007. You also got to talk with her the next day when you stopped by her school (Albuquerque Academy). </p>

<p>You and UR charmed her!</p>

<p>Yes, I remember your daughter very well. I was excited when I found out that she had decided to come, and I’ve seen her in passing once or twice since she has been here. I’m glad she seems to be enjoying Rochester so far!</p>
