U. Rochester Class of 2030 Official Thread

In the decision letter?

I don’t recall reading that but it was a long letter so maybe I missed it. Will go check

Yes, it was buried in there, several paragraphs down. But we didn’t get any scholarship information in our letter, so could be different.

If anyone is willing to share how much merit $ you were offered, that would be really helpful for potential applicants next year (like my S27). Congratulations to the new admits!

My son received $17,500 in merit scholarship. (I checked the CDS on the UR website which is for 24-25 year, the average that year was $17,238.)

My son received 10k a year. He went test optional. We are eligible for need based grant based on the NPC.

For those who were accepted- do you see any admitted students events listed yet?

when we clicked on the button in the portal, it just shows virtual webinars on the calendar.

Click on the link in the letter: Admitted Students - Undergraduate Admissions

My kiddo got the Bausch and Lomb scholarship ($20k). Also got an institutional grant, bringing it down to SUNY level. Honestly was surprised and pleased to see the aid award!

Congrats!
S26 was admitted on Friday with a merit scholarship but we are still waiting on the financial aid package.

Did you get an email saying your package was ready ti view? I read on Reddit that students have to access a separate financial aid portal. Is that accurate?

Congrats! DS was admitted on Friday and we are anxiously awaiting the aid package. Hoping this week. Great to hear they have been generous.

Thank you, we got an email at about 6:00pm yesterday saying FA package was available. Had our daughter log on to her portal & it was there. Also, just an FYI, the Net Price Calculator was spot on for us.

We got the email last night too and are so, so pleased with the aid. The most affordable by far! Just FYI, I found the portal confusing! Follow the instructions in the email - you’ll need a student ID number, and you have to click on “first time user.” From the homepage, use the menu at the top left. I first clicked “My Account” on the right, which kicked us back to the login page! I’ve looked at 5 FA offers at this point, and this one was the hardest to figure out. You can click on Awards to see aid, but the next button down: “Undergraduate College Financing Plan,” was the most comprehensive way to see it all in one place. Good luck!

Did they accept to neuroscience? D26 is very similar (geography, $30K Meliora, neuroscience - but no music). I didn’t see anything about major in her letter.

Nothing about major in her letter either - I was just mentioning her interests. Congrats to your kiddo.

D just received another email with a research award ($3500). Check email - and congrats to yours as well.
