<p>If it is, is the scholarship a set amount? What is the minimum SAT score? can you use the ACT instead?</p>
<p>No, it’s not true. At least not at University of Rochester. There are no automatic scholarships.</p>
<p>Since the quote mentions “in-state residents”, perhaps the OP thinks UR is a public university (SUNY)?</p>
<p>We get that now and then–UR’s name sounds like it’s a public school.</p>
<p>I am not quite certain how current this is… but it was true for both my daughters when they applied to the U o R. If a NYS resident with a certain minimum SAT and perhaps GPA, you were awarded a minimum $5000 merit scholarship. My older daughter graduated h.s. in 2003, college in 2007 and my younger daughter graduated h.s. in 2006 and from the U of R in May.</p>
<p>I received a $15,000 scholarship, and I do remember seeing somewhere that Rochester gives this scholarship to students with a minimum SAT (somewhere like 750+ for Verbal and Math).</p>
<p>Sorry for my recent absence… This is an outdated policy. Though the University of Rochester used to offer scholarships to students above a specific SAT score, that is no longer the case. Our goal is to adhere to a holistic review process, and though SAT/ACT scores are an important piece of that process, they are not used as a baseline for any major decisions. I hope this helps to clear things up!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! this helped alot.</p>
