@sherlly1997 They release it later, but international students outside of Mexico and Canada are not eligible for need-based aid.

@PokemonBirth The information about the package included a “Total Resources” section with school-calculated EFC, followed by “Remaining Need… $71”

ARE YOU WONDERING ABOUT FINANCIAL AID??? LOOK AT THIS POST!

Lol. Ok, people keep asking the same questions about financial aid.

You do not receive any aid notifications with your acceptance.

If you are awarded a merit scholarship you will receive an email a few days later (if you are accepted on a Friday you will probably receive an email on Tuesday). The email will tell you that you have been awarded a merit scholarship and to log into your myROC account. When you lig in, under your name, it will say what scholarship and how much you were given.

The need based aid comes even later (about a week later). You will receive another email saying that your financial aid is available to view. They will give you a student ID number and direct you to a NEW website. You will use your ID to create an account, and you will be able to view your merit and need based aid all in that account on that website.

Congrats to everyone who was accepted!

I’m still on step 4… does anyone know what it means if you haven’t recieived a decision yet? Does that usually mean a rejection?

Is there a groupme or do I have to make one?

Daughter (URM and double legacy) still on step 4, sort of like Schrodinger’s cat. They say on Tumblr smaller batches are coming soon. I suspect that many of the last batches will be wait-listed or rejections, but that is just my guess. Certainly they do not represent outright, immediate rejections, or they would have sent them by now, so that’s a small comfort. Looking forward to May 2.

So, on the decision pop up, it says error, and I can’t see the letter. However, on the side of the portal it shows an admission reply form. Did I get accepted?

When I got my acceptance my portal still said I was on step 4 and didn’t actually update to step 5 until like a week or so after I got my letter. So the portal is definitely not 100% up to date haha and doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t get a decision soon

@antonioavocado1 yes, I think you got accepted so congratulations! Because I could see my letter yesterday and now it’s showing an error. There’s also the admission reply form so congratulations again

if we are still on step 4, does that indicate a rejection?

Thank you!! Do you know how long does it take for the letter in the mail to come?

@aa2898 I got my acceptance online on a Friday, I think the acceptance came on the following Monday, so they’re probably mailed the same day.

@usualhopeful Alrighty, thanks then!

Anyway, does anyone know/wanna describe how the acceptance packet that’ll come in the mail looks?

Pretty ordinary, but that isn’t the important part, is it? :slight_smile:
And they personalize all acceptance letters. A nice touch.

@dudefromnowhere My D also got the same $14k dean scholarship. We are very disappointed and mostly may avoid since it is too much to spend for an UG.

Does anyone know if we get an acceptance pack or do they not do that?

@Caramel101 I got an acceptance packet. You will get one too.

@NICE8x You got it already? Were you part of the batch on Friday?

@PokemonBirth I got a decision March 18th

@NICE8x when did you get your? are you near rochester?

@Caramel101 I live relatively close (MA). So closer than someone in CA. I received it around a week after my decision I think.
