Hi I’m a senior and I’m about to apply for University of Rochester through regular decision.
I am black, and come from a lower class family, not that it means anything, but I thought I should say that. I go to a school known for it’s rigorous course load. My GPA, however, is a 2.95 on a 4.0 scale, and my SAT scores are a 1590. I was accepted to their MVP program, and while I was their I found that the atmosphere really stuck with me. I also partook in an interview while there. During my time in high school I have done various activities such as crew, created a video game club, helped out at a baseball academy, joined the SCA for a year, joined a robotics club, a natural hair club, and even joined a program at a local college, where I took some classes to enhance my learning. I’m not trying to brag or anything but I just want to put out the full image of myself. The problem is I’m afraid because I know Rochester accepts top notch people, and I’m not sure if my grades, and activities will cut it. I really like this school, as I put it on the top of my list. Do I stand a chance?
