<p>I would say that it is a pretty big reach considering your gpa. There is only so much interviews and extracurriculars can get you unless you have done something otherworldly.</p>

<p>My cousing got into Rochester a few years ago with a 1350(760M, 590V) and something around a 3.7 GPA. he had average EC's.</p>

<p>anyone else????????</p>

5

<p>Yeah, it's definitely iffy.</p>

6

<p>You might need to go someplace else for a year or two and apply later as a transfer.</p>

7

<p>U of R places a lot of emphasis on GPA. I think OneMom is correct.</p>

<p>i got into University of Rochester, and this reply is only to show everyone that gpa isnt everything and if u have enough to buffer ur application u will get in. BTW thanks everybody for all your opinions and advice</p>

<p>UR doesn't seem to care much about GPA. Two kids with 3.1's and 1300+s-1400s got in from my high school (this was two and three years ago) as we keep a big book on who gets in with what stats to which school.</p>

<p>Most people will find that whatever they expect to get on their SATs are vastly differently than what they actually get.</p>

11

<p>Wow, that is great. What SAT scores did you end up with?</p>

<p>i ended with i think around a 1950</p>
