<p>I really want to go to the University of Rochester, but the cost is holding me back. It would be ideal if I could get a scholarship. But the information about them on the website is a little vague.</p>
<p>The website says, "Prospective Rush Rhees Award winners are required to participate in an interview and to submit extra documents in support." Does anyone know if they call you for an interview after you submit your application or you should schedule one first? Also, how do you get the extra documents in support? Do you ask for that at the interview?</p>
<p>For the exact specific details, you should contact admissions. Their contact info is all over this forum and on the main UR website. </p>
<p>I would also like to point out at this time, that UR is very genorous with merit scholarships and what not. </p>
<p>My parents wrote a letter to the university about my merits as a student that wasn't mentioned before and they gave me an additional $1000 scholarship (per year). </p>
<p>I already scheduled an interview, but I'm still curious about where you get the extra documents. Does anyone else have any ideas? Should I just ask at my interview?</p>
<p>When my son went through the UR application process last year, we were told that all applicants are automatically considered for merit awards...there were no additional scholarship application forms. This was much better than other schools that required multiple apps. A few months after he applied, he received a letter telling him that he'd received the $10K scholarship. The letter went on to say that he was one of 50 applicants being considered for ten full-tuition Renaissance Scholarships, but he would have to come to the campus for a special two-day visit and additional interview.</p>
