•University of Rochester RD Class of 2020•

@Exmark did your letter say what you’re accepted to or was just about how it was tough and you’re in?

Majors are not explicitly stated in the online letters. They’re personalized, though!

Do you know if they’re done with today’s notifications please?

Welcome to the University of Rochester’s 166th 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 of your interest in
combining academic options. One of the most valuable parts of the Rochester Curriculum is the unique
focus on students pursuing genuine depth in more than just one area of study.

Did those of you who recieved a decision today get an email before your decision was posted? And will anymore decisions be posted today?

I did get an email before they posted my decision. And I was accepted!! I’m so excited because they’re my top choice. We’ll see about financial aid. I think having an interview with an admissions counselor was very helpful, and he even commented that they haven’t had a student from South Dakota in the past two years.

For those still on step 4: UR Admissions tumblr account stated that a couple more batches are rolling out in the coming weeks. After analyzing last year’s thread, the next decision batch was 4 days after the previous, so Tuesday may be another decision day. Also, usually the third batch (the next one) releases another 1.5k decisions. The batch after that will have only around 100 decisions, so look forward to next week. Also, there is no correlation of acceptances/rejections to batch date, so don’t be alarmed if you’re still on step 4.

When would we find out if we got any merit aid? Did anyone get any notification of merit aid with their acceptance?

I got accepted! I got an email notifying me and then the decision was on MyROC. There was no financial information, and from what people have said earlier in this thread it sounds like that will come out in a couple days. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

@ajs28152 congrats on getting accepted!
At what time did you receive your email please?

accepted! loved the personalized letter!!

Letter was very nicely done. Personalization didn’t feel canned at all.

for those wondering, the email updating my portal was sent at exactly 12 pm

Congratulations to all who were accepted. Hoping my S will have good news tonight too.

I got in!!!

When did you get your decision?

@laklouka13 I got my email at 1:00 MST, so that’s 3:00 EST

The decisions were all sent at the same time, so I doubt we’ll be getting more today.

Yeah, but they say decisions will be released up to April 1st so there is still plenty of time, hang in there everyone!

Accepted! Got an email right beforehand! Good luck!
