@namelessmonster The content below was the body of my letter.
Welcome to the University of Rochester’s 167th Class!
Facing the challenge this year of choosing just one out of every four applicants, the committee and I
prioritized evidence of independent self-direction. Multiple readers searched your application for much
more than grades and scores.
Among many other reasons, I know you’ll be a great fit at Rochester because you’re seeking diversity.
Students come here from all 50 states and at least 125 countries from around the world. Rochester
students are not only diverse in culture but also in their interests, both in and out of the classroom.
For a major research university to thrive with just 5,300 undergraduates, each student has to make a
personal and immediate contribution to campus life. The counselors recommended you for admission
because of how you are a “keeper of culture.” The committee and I are confident you will both stand out and grow stronger as part of the Rochester family.
To reserve your place in the Class of 2021, you must enroll by May 1, 2017. You can enroll through your MyROC account or submit the Admission Reply Form included with your admit letter.
I look forward to welcoming you to campus.
Waitlisted!
