U of R Class of 2023 Applicants Discussion

I GOT IN Y’ALL
MELIORA

@Reina712 , your stats if its no problem?

@fbsdreams my portal does not show any red mark. I just want to be sure first if all deferred applicants got the same message that I did before I know how to proceed

@ABEinstein please did your deferred letter suggested that they still need some additional information from you in other to make a final decision?

International from Pakistan! GOT IN!

@Waleednadeem stats?

SAT 1380 R&W 770 Math 610
ACT 31
Extra curriculars and leadership positions
My admissions letter said I was admitted because I’m seeking diversity, my empathy and my search for a community of like minded givers
Sorry I don’t really know how to summarize my stats. If you have a specific question though I’d be happy to help

@Ken203 , yes my deferral Letter stated that they’ll require additional information. That’s why I’m sending my new SAT and my Résumé. Don’t you have any additional information to send to them?

hi guys, I haven’t received any letter. Is there any one who didn’t get a letter?

Still waiting :frowning: can anyone call the admission?

I have emailed the admission officers.

@“phila.et” keep me updated please

@AnanFaiyaz I think you would be interested in academic stats so ill just mention them, but I must stress stats don’t matter as much as we make them.

SAT 1: 1470 (Math 770 Eng 700)

SAT 2: Chem 790
Math Level 2 780
Physics 720
Biology 710

O-Level: 12As (7A* & 5A)
Alevel Six subjects

PS: I had a like 2 or 3 Cs in my A level transcript so don’t fret about grades and scores. You are more than grades and scores!

I hope this help you in some way!

Meliora!

@ABEinstein I think they’ve received all my information at the time. Would have to update them on my recent activities and awards and probably take the interview.

For those deferred, last year 475 ED acceptances out of 1,350 total C/O of 2022 slots. One in four acceptance means about 1,900 applications.

Assume this year has an equivalent pool of 20,000 applicants with an extremely high ED yield means 875 open slots for 18,000+ applicants.

Without knowing breakdown of international in ED, which is reported at 31% overall of the 1,350, seems like a deferral still offers a decent chance for acceptance as the RD yield is substantially lower - perhaps +/- 25% overall.

Get those interviews in ASAP and request from someone high in admissions. Remember to highlight what you bring to the campus and student body and how the cluster works for you and the desire to do research year one.

Engagement is usually towards the top of the scale and important.

As an example : a Top 5 University that uses a three index scale as a driver for their holistic approach is below.

1-5 Academics
A-E Personality - EC’s, Essays, etc.
XYZ University fit / Engagement

Best rating 1AX / Worst rating 5EZ

Hope this can help even a single prospect.

Remember if UofR sends you email, open it. Click the links. It’s tracked and they know if you open it.

Edit - yield is probably more like +/- 30% for RD

Is there anyone else who didn’t receive his decision ?

Hey guys! Who knows when we should expect our FA?

@TGryx23 some people here didn’t receive decisions too. I think y’all should email admissions and ask

Can anyone call them please for me? I can’t I am an international student
