<p>Hey everyone! I was wondering how much winning a U Rochester high school award impacts admission. I won the susan anthony/fredrick douglass award last year. Thanks!</p>
<p>My daughter received that award from her high school 2 years ago. Winning it waived the app fee. Although I am not sure how much it affected the admission decsion, she was awarded a $10k/year scholarship…not enough to make U of R financial viable for us.</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
<p>smiles17… Recipients of the award are typically chosen by teachers and/or counselors and for that reason, I consider them to be a reflection of the respect that your teachers and/or counselors have for you and your academic/personal accomplishments. In this way, it does have an impact on our admissions review, though it does not guarantee admission.</p>
<p>Recipients of the award that are admitted are then considered for the corresponding scholarship, which is offered in varying amounts beginning at $7,500.</p>
<p>Hope this helps. Good luck.</p>
