[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]University of Rochester is really up there.  I'm not familiar with the school-- I'm a recent transplant from the West Coast. 
What kind of kid goes there?  What is the appeal?  [/quote]
Seems to especially attract premed and STEM generally, has good econ and the Eastman School of Music. The international portion is large at 37%.

It has always been highly-ranked; fell from 29 to 34 in this particular fluctuation. More known in the Northeast, naturally.

WNY weather, cloudy, cold/wet, and generally gloomy.  Tunnels in between buildings.  Pretty, traditional campus on the edge of town, very close to airport.  Greek houses on campus, though I don't know what percent participate.  They offer merit, have need-based aid but the reliability seems to vary.  Been test-flexible for a few years now.  Heavily consider demonstrated interest; the optional interview isn't really optional, applicants should try to do it.  For priority merit availability, submit RD app by Dec 1.

I haven't come across the 2024 acceptance rate yet.  They no longer release their Common Data Set admission stats, though 2023 stats can be found here: https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=university+of+rochester&s=all&id=195030#admsns (30%, ebrw 640-720, math 670-780, ACT 30-34)

Unfortunately, the virtual info session one of my kids did last summer was just awful and I can't get him to apply.  Hopefully they've improved since then.  In the past, I did an in-person tour with a different kid who liked it.[/quote]
