<p>I think UofR is a low reach for you.</p>

<p>I disagree with guineagirl96. I think you have a shot but you never know what the competition is coming in. If it is truly the school you desire, then go for the ED II. My s was turned down from a school where his credentials were higher and he is more well rounded than others that got in; you just never know what they are looking for. But certainly have a safety school in the 50th or higher percentile as a back up just in case. Good Luck and hope you get in:-)</p>

<p>@tsewell‌ I never said that op wouldn’t get in or that they shouldn’t apply. EDing might be enough to get OP in but UofR is not a safety or wouldn’t even be a match IMHO. low reach does not automatically equal rejection.</p>

<p>I’m a current UofR student. OP, I definitely think you have a shot, I just don’t know if I can call it a match for you. Its not a huge reach where you would have no chance. Even if it was (which it isn’t), i would still encourage you to apply. </p>

<p>Sorry if I implied anything different, this is what I meant.</p>
