How much does UR look at other standardized test scores besides the SAT? my counselor has suggested I take the ACT or SAT subject tests, but I was just wondering how much that would help? I have already taken the SAT once and gotten a 1540, or 2230 combined. And I have some 4/5 AP scores.

Also, I still have to write my CommonApp essay, but already sent in my supplement this summer. Will they read the supplement first? Because, looking back, I don’t think my answers were especially great, but you can still get the feel of who I am from reading them… How important are those?

And I wish I had figured out how awesome UR is last year (my top school no less!) Because junior year is when they give out those Susan B. Anthony/ Bausch and Lomb scholarships, and I hadn’t expressed interest, so I missed out are there merit scholarships available of that amount or greater?
Oh, and I’ve had an interview already too.

thanks!
