I wanted to send a follow up reply. I appreciate the advice and support many of you posted this winter while we were all waiting. My son was accepted to U of R in the second batch. However, after receiving the financial package we’ve decided he’s not attending. The truth of the matter is the amount U of R is expecting us to pay (35,000) is just not possible. We have 3 other children to follow…and we just don’t feel that accumulating that amount of debt is a smart decision…especially when his plan is to attend med school. He is going to be attending U at Buffalo…he received 3k in merit scholarship and will be getting free tuition on top of that (studying a stem area/graduating in the top 10% of his class). Good luck to all of you who will be attending. For those of you who were “rejected”…I truly believe it just wasn’t meant to be. Keep your chin up:)
