How much financial aid can you get?

I applied for Fall 2010, so I thought I'd jump in and say hi... I sent my application in September, got a phone call the next day and did a phone interview the day after that. I don't think they had many apps at that point though. They told me the massive majority are overnighted the day of the deadline. They also told me they'll notify late December/early January.
Good luck to us all!

Fall 2010? Is there a Fall program option now???

No, I just misspoke and I didn't notice until it was too late to edit. I applied for May 2010, but the other schools I am looking at have a Fall start and I just got confused :smackingf

Did you apply?

Ah, Gotcha. Yeah, I had my interview way back in the second week of October - seems like forever ago.

I just heard from a friend who spoke to Elaine Andolina (director of admissions). They have over 400 applications this year, the largest number they've ever had. So they are way behind schedule in getting interviews done and processing all the applications. Should be mid January at the earliest before we start hearing anything.

Wow, thanks AnthonyD, I really appreciate that update! Honestly I'm not super-happy to hear that there're a record breaking number of applications :eek: but at least I know to sit back and keep waiting! I'd already begun stalking the mailman, so I guess I can back off for the holidays...

Please do let us know when you hear something and I'll do the same! Good luck!

I just got the call - I am accepted for May 2010!! Just a heads up that they've started notifying.

AnthonyD - You interviewed early also, so maybe you'll hear as well...

Good luck everybody!

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to wish everyone luck on the admission process. I just got accepted into the program for May 2010, and I heard so many good things about the program at UR. Everyone just stay positive!

Kebunt- Congratulations!!

CONGRATS TO ALL ACCEPTED SO FAR!

is it all via phone or have people gotten letters? i can't even remember which phone number I gave!

kebunt · Dec 25, 2009

Xtina - They told me that they mailed letters out in the beginning of the week but just in case the letters hadn't been received yet they were calling with the good news... Personally, I got the phone call but still no letter. Yours will probably take even longer to deliver since you're out on the West Coast, right? Good luck!!

DOH85 - Thanks and congrats to you too!

Xtina2010 · Dec 29, 2009

Ok, after hearing everyone had gotten phone calls, I just assumed I didn't get in...but today I got a call! YAY!

I am having mixed feelings right now because I just got an AMAZING job offer I don't think I can turn down. Does anyone know if they allow deferment? CONGRATS to everyone who was accepted!

kebunt · Dec 29, 2009

Xtina, How nice to have to decide between a great school and a great job offer!

They certainly used to allow deferment, so I imagine they still do... There were some previous students profiled on the SON homepage and a couple mentioned that they initially had to defer...

Whatever you decide - Congrats!

AnthonyD · Dec 30, 2009

Congrats!! I was away for Christmas and arrived home on Sunday to find my letter waiting for me, I got the phone call yesterday. (Now on to the next step - figuring out how to pay for this!)

Class of 2011!!!
