•University of Rochester RD Class of 2020•

Hearing the “Jeopardy Think” music about now. 12:35 Eastern Time.

Any updates anyone?

:(( waiting seriously kills me… still on step 4… and I’ve been on step 4 for only a few days… don’t know if I’ll get the decision this week… :frowning:

Nothing in our US Mail delivery today in Connecticut.

Called u Rochester admissions. They are randomly releasing decisions throughout the whole month of March. They said process is totally random, not in relation to accepted or not accepted.

My D has not received an email and her portal still shows step 4. Hopefully the decision will come out today.

No email still…been in Step 4 for weeks!

Anyone receive a letter via regular mail that might have gone out yesterday?

If Rochester said today that they are randomly releasing acceptances throughout the month, then why are people saying today and tomorrow? So very confused…
Does this mean that they mailed out decisions already but aren’t going to update the portal till later? It doesn’t make sense.

My daughter is an alumn. The year she graduated high school, there were waves of admittance decisions over a period of several weeks. At the time everything was snail mail, no online portals to check. We are from Nassau County. A close friend of hers who is a legacy lives in Westchester. Everyone in Westchester County received their acceptance packages a full week or even longer than my d. Neither my d or her friend requested financial aid. Both received merit packages. My daughter never had an interview, cannot be sure if her friend did or did not. There is absolutely no specific timetable or agenda in how/when decisions are made and announced.

@elc2435 On page 12 someone posted:

And then later on page 14, to clarify, they said:

However, it’s possible that only some admissions counselors are ready, that some will provide more specific information about dates, and/or that some information has gotten mixed up as it has passed through different people.

At the end of the day, it’s impossible even after calling the counselors to be sure what their plan is, so as nerve-wracking as this all is, there’s nothing to do but be patient.

It’s also true that things may differ by region. The Rochester counselor spoken to (who said decisions had been mailed) services the mid Atlantic region. Decisions may or may not be released for other regions at the same time.

@kito94 I seriously doubt it is because you want to study Arabic. They wouldn’t offer it if they didn’t want people studying it. It was probably because they couldn’t give you FA.

Offical Rochester tumblr account says next round of RD decisions comes out at the end of this week.

Son received his FA package via email (accepted about a week ago)l-looks decent- a little better than expected.

still on step 4

@sungjong We’re on the same boat :((

@sungjong @chuchutrain97 Same…

I’ve looked at the portal so many times over the last few weeks it’s starting to make me really angry lol I need to stop

@elc2435 I see you everywhere hahaha
