<p>Focus on your first-quarter grades - Rochester will care about whether you have turned your academics around. I think that you have a shot, but that you should also be thinking about plan B. It is possible that they might defer you in order to see more (and hopefully better) grades.</p>

<p>yea, first quarter i have all A/A- and like one B, and i am faxing these grades this week. Do you think i would get in if they get that and see such a change?</p>

<p>Anyone else any thought?</p>

<p>I agree with Ohio Mom, the improved grades can only help. However, Rochester is still going to be a reach for you, so don’t fixate only on Rochester. Start to fall in love with a few other schools just in case.
Good luck!</p>

<p>Unless your first quarter grades come quick, ED will be over and you may be put in with the regular admits. Grades are important so I don’t disagree with above posts.</p>
