<p>Anyone who knows about the University of Rochester... Please REPLY! :)
I am currently writing an essay about Why URochester. The prompt wants me to detail how I am an independent, confident thinker who still "plays well with others."
Can you give me a few examples of how Rochester embodies these characteristics? (any specific programs, learning atmosphere, etc) Feel free to PM your responses! Thanks so much for your time!</p>
<p>It’s about how you embody that. If you want to apply this, look up Rochester Curriculum and read about that. But make sure you write about you, not about the school or how you fit the school. They want to learn about how your mind works on its own and how it works in groups, which could mean in classes or in social settings. UR is an academic school which tries to admit kids with intellectual curiosity and normal social skills, meaning kids who like kids and like doing things not just studying about brain chemistry or playing scales.</p>
