I just got a Dean’s scholarship for 10k and haven’t heard from financial aid yet. Does anyone know if this will decrease my financial aid offer i.e do they “stack” financial aid and merit aid?
Think they issue merit aid first then financial aid, when I ran the calculator to get the full aid package the loan amounts went down with higher merit aid but not dollar for dollar. Like if my d gets 5k in merit and has 10k in loans, vs 15k in merit the loans don’t go to 0, it was closer to going from 10k to 5k. Again that was just on there calculator for estimated costs.
My roommate has just received his decision, and I didn’t get mine, so there is a released batch. I think there is only one remaining batch to the next week.
I just heard back from Rochester. I suppose I got rejected but they also mentioned making a transfer plan with an admissions counselor. What’s that supposed to mean? Then they said “Whether you consider this transfer route or pursue your degree elsewhere…”. I’m totally confused, but I know that they “cannot invite you to attend as a first-year student”.
Finally heard back. My first acceptance!!
1480 SAT, 34 ACT, 4.6 W GPA. Applied to Biomedical engineering major.

Congratulations kitten2399! You only need one, and this is one of the best ones on your list!
@Marcsinger1 Thank you so much!! Honestly, I was considering not even checking my decision to the U of R after receiving rejections back to back. However, I’m glad I did! This has brighten up my whole entire month!
@SuperGymnast_04 - we got an email from FAOnline…but no merit yet. Admitted on 2/19…I guess since many of the 2/19 admitted students got merit, I am assuming we are not getting anything as the grants/scholarships depletes after they give it to the candidates from the top of the list. But I am happy with the admission
@michaelfox - are you sure the final transcript is not needed. When I check their admission page, it still says it is not complete…I thought all schools require that
My son was accepted for Cog Science at University of Rochester…anybody here who is pursuing that major…we are planning to visit this college. In the mean time can anybody share any experiences they had during their visit.
@miktrwww - it means you can get transfered in the sophomore year…you need to get admitted to another school for the freshman year and get in to UofR as a transfer student, if you are really keen in getting there…
@kitten2399 - Congratulations…as someone told, you just need 1 acceptance…
no…
anyone else waitlisted???
@kitten2399 congrats! I got into Fordham but waitlisted for UR:(
