Hey all,
Asking for insight on this program. My (small) high school's college counselors surprised me by nominating me for an award from URochester (which I won) and yes, URoch has done their marketing well and gotten me semi-interested in applying. I received the Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science Award which waives my app fee (for URoch, not Eastman, as far as I can tell) and makes me eligible for a minimum $10,000 annual scholarship upon admittance to URoch.
I already knew about Eastman's prestige and the double degree program, but now that I have this potential money in my pocket I'm looking into it. I know Eastman is a huge longshot for me but I'm shooting at something similar for USC Thornton and math. So, what the heck. A few questions I have before I go any further:
1. Why have people in the past chosen Eastman over other schools? What makes it special? Why should I apply there? I'm looking at you, @akapiratequeen @mperrine @Mamager19
2. Are DDE (double degree) applicants eligible for merit awards from BOTH URoch and Eastman? Do these awards stack?
3. How closely knit are the two schools? I know they are 10 minutes apart... is your impression that they operate as two separate schools, or are they really one school with two campuses?
Thanks for all the guidance so far, and thanks in advance for everyone's replies![:)]( ":)")
