You will get accepted to Rochester if they see that you have the capability for greatness, which is not necessarily determined by scores or GPA. The acutally do look at the app. holistically, which is evident from my acceptance :)

Also, I’ve heard how JHU really isn’t as cutthroat as people say, though I personally can’t even imagine going to a school that is reputed to be like this. Obviously the rumors stem from somewhere and perhaps it’s just that the people attending take the level of competitiveness for granted. I’d much rather do group study sessions than have to study alone b/c everyone else fears that I’ll do better on the curve if they help me. My dad’s experiences alone were enough to validate my not applying there.

Didn’t matter anyway b/c of Rochester though :)

Waiting b/c you want to raise your SAT scores is a good idea since you’re still undecided at this point.
