University of Rochester Class of 2021 Regular Decision Discussion

When I sent an owl to the admissions office recently, they said they would release regular decision notifications from the beginning of mid-March. Yes, I am in step 4.

@ProfessorSnape oh my god :))

Tumblr says this week…

What time do you guys think the decisions will come out?

@MOMOFMAM I read their Tumblr post as well. Perhaps it is for those who applied at an earlier date. I applied on Jan 5 as an international. By the way, momo is my favorite food.

@ProfessorSnape It is supposed to be this week for their first release. GEAR and GRADE people are more likely to get a decision this week because the decision for those programs is March 1st and it wouldn’t make sense to release those decisions before admission. However, the submission date is not what dictates the release date, some people who submitted in January will get it back and some who submit in November, December will not. It just depends how fast your readers read your application.

Does anyone know what day this week the first batch of decisions goes out? Im on step 4 do u think its likely that I will hear back?

@dancer9924 they won’t say what day. Yes I would think so, I’m on step 4 and my coach already knows my admission decision, so I should be getting it this week.

What percentage of people (guess) are on step 4?

All of the GEAR, Simon Scholar, and GRADE appliers at least so that’s like 300-400 each, then extra so probably, like a quarter to half.

Not all of them, I was selected as a finalist for the Simon Scholars Case Competition, and am not on step 4 yet.

@scch99 that’s very strange, at least for GEAR and GRADE, they needed to have already reviewed your entire application before you went to the interview. I’ve been on step 4 since the end of December, early January.

You do not interview for the Simon Competition, I called and they told me that I’d not have my decision until like 2 weeks.

But yeah, it is weird that I’m selected as a finalist and have not received my decision. They should tell you your decision first.

@AdelsKing Aww thanks. Where did you read that?

Do you guys know if they still use that December 1st deadline for “strongest consideration for admission and merit scholarships”?

Will the decision be available at MYROC?

ManaManawegi, yes when it appears it appears on
Myroc and they send you an email with the decision too.

Going crazy waiting!!!

jillpnk, I know right? I applied ED and I got my decision month late. I got deferred to regular decision and I’m still waiting from December xD :smiley: its all about patience good luck to all of us
