University of Rochester Class of 2021 Regular Decision Discussion

@helloitsmelol Can’t answer when you will get access to your FA.

Actually, the email for access to the FA site was not sent to my S’s email where all his other admissions stuff was sent, but rather to MY (his mom’s) email which seemed really weird to us. Not even a copy to his email. (My email was in the parent-info section of his CommonApp,) Something to be aware of…

Non-refundable enrollment deposit is $800.

That’s weird! Thank you for your help @WhataProcess . I will make sure to give the Financial Aid Office a call later this week.

To everyone: Do y’all think it’s possible that UofR accepts students in need of financial aid assistance and then does not grant them aid? Is UofR Need Aware? Cuz I’m pretty excited I got admitted, yet I don’t know if I will receive a financial aid package (that’s why I don’t want to get my hopes up).
Oh, BTW I’m Mexican… From what I understand Rochester considers Mexicans and Canadians for financial aid (alongside US applicants).

@Homeostasis101 when did your S receive admittance? My D was accept 3/8 and we have received nothing in the mail.

@Smartisan5 Colgate has engineering? I would say of the three U or R is the best.

Received it on the 22nd @Yomega

@Magnamious Idk man lol. My family’s income is way too low to attend without aid. (< 15k$) I’m still awaiting on the financial aid package.
I’m an international so chances are vague they’ll give good aid.

@Delusion707 aww ok, I hope you get to go there though, if that’s where you want to go!

i just got an email about a scholarship, where do i find the data

I got the email saying I have received a merit scholarship! But I cannot find the info in MrROC…

Same thing got the scholarship email but can’t find it in myroc

LOL rip

it just popped up. its under the merit notification symbol.

Got notified, the information is a little to the right on your menu under merit notification. I received the $15,000 Dean’s Scholarship!

@Smartisan5 considering U of R is really the only one of the schools you listed that actually has an engineering program, it’s U of R. Colgate University and Hamilton College are Liberal Arts schools.

Has anyone else still not received an admissions decision? I’ve been checking myROC every day for the last few weeks and I’m still on step 4.

@selizabeth I believe all of the batches were sent out on a Friday! This Friday (if not sooner) has to be the date they notify students bc it’s the 31st. Good luck!

@helloitsmelol I got my decision on a Wednesday

Does anybody know if all of the scholarship info has been sent? I got a research grant but heard nothing about merit scholarships. Does that mean I did not get anything?

I was also wondering if there were still scholarships to be sent out…I was just accepted today but there wasn’t anything about merit or need based aid. Would merit have come with my acceptance if I was getting any?

@selizabeth I got accepted last week and I just got my merit scholarship this week. I got an email notification sent to me so I would wait another week and see.
