•University of Rochester RD Class of 2020•

Sorry to hear everyone who didn’t get in :frowning: I still haven’t heard yet but considering that this wave seemed to be more negative than the past wave I don’t think I want to today. I actually visited last Thursday and emailed my reader so maybe mine got pushed off a bit of something

Hey, did anyone else just get an email notifying them they were awarded a scholarship? I logged into myROC like the email said but I could not find any info regarding the supposed scholarship.

@NICE8x We got the same e-mail, but nothing when we went on the myROC site! Not sure what is going on.

I just got an email that says:

"I love my job, because I get to ‘tell’ you that the University of Rochester will award you a scholarship when you enroll!

You’ll find the details in your MyROC account at http://enrollment.rochester.edu/myroc.

If you have applied for need-based aid, you’ll receive another message about that. Your merit scholarship will appear again in your final financial aid package.

If you have questions, the counselors who recommended you for scholarships want to hear them."

I went to myROC but I couldn’t find anything about scholarships. Did anyone else get a scholarship email and have this problem? I’m super confused. (Got accepted last week btw)

@NICE8x @reads2222
got the same email too…but there is nothing there

Hey guys I just called and apparently everyone is experiencing this problem. So many people logged on to view their scholarships that the website crashed. She said to check back in a few hours.

Okay my scholarship just popped up. 14k a year Dean’s Scholarship. How about you guys?

Nevermind, it worked this time!

My son received a Dean’s Scholarship for 15K. The school is probably too expensive and I doubt we will get much need-based aid. Anyone have an idea as to when complete financial award letters will be coming?

Still no decision here. This is getting frustrating.

My son received the prince street scholarship for $13,000 per year. I, too, am looking forward to receiving the whole financial aid award :slight_smile: Congratulations on the scholarships!

Still nothing here, may I ask: how did you find out in the portal… did it pop up?

My waitlist was sent through an e-mail.
For earlier acceptances, they told you to go to your portal and the decision popped up, yes.

@PennieKi It showed up under the part with my name and said “Merit Notification”.

Dean’s Scholarship, 14k/year, but I have a low-ish EFC so I’m just hoping this is a good sign for need-based aid.

Same email here today. George Eastman Leaders Award 11k. Hoping for good news for those still waiting!

I apologize, good to hear people are getting in!

And I got my acceptance letter and a scholarship for being an IB Diploma Candidate!

I just wanted to share that, at least around my neighborhood, Rochester is known to give generous financial aid packages. I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up (including mine), but I remember after my son had his interview (it was around here locally), his admissions rep. stopped to see if I had any questions. She said that getting in was the hard part, and that they are not “need blind’” but rather “need aware.” So if they know that $5,000 for example would make a difference for a student to attend or not, they work hard to try and make it work for him/her. I really liked her frankness and hope they are paying attending to our EFCs and the demonstrated need we all have. I am optimistic …

Rochester has a full tuition scholarship, wondering if anyone was awarded this.

Or will those be announced separately?

Anyone have a guess on when the next batch of decisions will be?
