It’s been really long since the acceptance letter, and being need aware for internationals they have to know how much aid someone will need before giving an acceptance letter so I don’t quite understand why they make us wait really long with no clear date for the award after an acceptance
@Noob99. They are need aware during the admissions process but after admissions, they meet 100% of demonstrated need for ALL admitted students.
@RocURworld yes I understand that. I meant to say that they have to know how much aid an international will need before sending an acceptance, so I don’t understand the reason for the almost month long delay in releasing the financial aid information. They probably have concrete reasons for this but I was just curious.
Just got an update about a Dean’s Scholarship 11,000$.
Hopefully this means that aid awards aren’t more than a week away.
Good luck to everyone accepted in Ed-2 
Does anyone know when UR will release the decisions for ED ll? my admission counselor told me from 10 days ago that I will hear around Feb 7.
@xXRXx2x I think most people got the decision on 18 Jan, if you applied later than us you should expect a decision within 4-5 weeks from when ur ED confirmation was accepted. I got it 4 weeks after my ED confirmation was submitted.
Got the aid package, it seemed like a good number at first. However after clarifying what the expected cost of attendance is for internationals(75,900$), it turns out that the expected cost this leaves my family is more than double of what we wrote we could contribute in the css. We were being pretty linient with that value. I don’t see how I can go to Rochester with the current package, but I have been accepted through ED-2.
I’ve emailed my financial aid counselor about this. Does anyone know if the University ever really increases awards, or perhaps just adds loans?
When does domestic early decision 2 applicants receive the financial package? It’s been about 3 weeks already.
I think FA will be coming very soon. I received my merit- tuition scholarship. Just waiting for my aid package.
@Noob99 you can apply for appeal but only and if only your package is less than tuition and board
@Happy99 thanks. I had mistakenly ticked my eldest brothers undergraduate school as graduate so he was calculated as independent. Thankfully, they understood and adjusted my package. I look forward to seeing you all the University of Rochester :). Can anyone who knows tell me if we get campus employment and earn more than the need based employment stated in our package, is out financial aid grant reduced?
Can any international student also tell me when we start applying for the visa?
@Noob. I’m very happy you. Finally! I hope the package is generous. As for visa app, I think it happens around april/may, depending on how fast you work with your department.
