No Contact No Scholarship?

My son applied RD on Dec. 30. After he finished submitting the app, he tried to schedule an off-campus interview using the website, but the message “no local events” appeared. (We live in Arizona and won’t be going to Rochester unless he is accepted.) So he called the admissions office and was told that the school had done interviews in Phoenix one day in early October – before my son had even heard of UR – so it was too late for that.

When he expressed concern that this would leave him out of the running for merit scholarships (since the website seemed to make it pretty clear that you had to interview for those), he was told that he would still be considered for the scholarships, because the school understood that not everyone could make it to campus or interview off-campus.

So, consolation, we are in the same boat as you – keeping our fingers crossed that he will be getting some good news in the mail later this month.
