University of Rochester Class of 2021 Regular Decision Discussion

@Meddhif0013 If you are in the first batch, you will get it next week. I am not sure about the day, though. I am an international too.

Guys do you think the decisions will be sent out on Monday?

where are you all from? i’m an international student too, from Greece

they might!! i’m guessing that there is a reason they didn’t release them yesterday, as they didn’t push it back for the whole week, up until thursday, at least. they didn’t even push it back until very late on friday! so i assume that they only need a day or two to fix whatever problem there was… that’s just an assumption, though

I am from Nepal. Yeah, that sounds likely.

when did you submit your application?

January 5. haha. What about you?

haha, i did that with other colleges, but UR’s application was the first one i submitted, december 1 (or november 30, i’m not sure) to be considered for large merit scholarships.

Oh, nice! What other colleges have you applied to?

guys, do all aplicants pass by stage 4. I heard that not all applicants require committee review

No, they don’t. If your second reader thinks that your application needs further review, he/she will send it to the committee.

@ProfessorSnape i’ll PM you so that the thread is just about UR

Hi, I am an international student from India … applied on 30th Nov for REMS but was rejected pre interview, my application has been on step 4 for ages… do you think I might get a decision next week?

So I’m an international student from Egypt, I applied ED me and about 7 friends of mine. We all got through committee review. So I guess its something all applicants go through it.“not all of my friends were internationals”

I’m an international student and I got the “committee review thing” as well

@neuromaniac Sure, no problem.

@Meshmesha I don’t know about that. They posted this information on Tumblr:

Hello! I was wondering if all applicants go through committee review? And if not, what does going through committee mean? Thank you!

Not all applications go through committee review. If an application warrants further discussion beyond the first and second reads because of extenuating circumstances, alternative documentation, or any other special case, the application will go into committee review.

My D (applied Dec.1, RD OOS )is on Step 4 and the page is pasted below…Is this what other step 4’s say?

“.A senior second reader has completed his/her review of your credentials for admission. Your application is in the last stage of the review process and is awaiting the committee’s final decision.”

We are trying to be patient awaiting decisions but I am starting to question why UR is having trouble releasing the admissions. And after looking at past year’s threads this is not the first year to have these setbacks? Is it the Admissions related or IT department? Hope the class of 2021 can help them figure it out :))

@Justamomtocarly my daughter’s portal is at step 4 also, and says the same. It’s been frustrating to wait because they said it would be two weeks ago…then last week…then at the last minute (seemingly) they said next week. My daughter is much more patient than I am :slight_smile:

@ProfessorSnape I believe Merit Air needs Stage 4 review.
