<p>U of R is my reach school and i was just wondering if it worth my time to even apply even though i already did. My intended major is chemistry and i was born in Rochester and i know the reputation it has in the research department. I plan on doing medicine and overall Rochester is a good school for my intended major, so just wondering if i have a chance with sub par stats. </p>

<p>Your high school GPA is not bad, and your EC's I think were more impressive than mine. I would say you have a good shot. Good luck!</p>

<p>i think the thing that really killed me was my SAT scores, but is it enough to get in or is there some cut off?</p>

4

<p>There's no cutoff, but I don't know how they'll affect you. Have you considered taking the ACT? You still have time.</p>

5

<p>i did take the ACT and i hated the exam and i also got a 24 on it so i dont plan on sending it in or retaking</p>

6

<p>I do think that Rochester is one of those schools that weight standardized scores more than others. Your scores do come a bit below average, but I dont think it would be a deciding factor. Well, can't change anything now!</p>
