<p>Any advice? Thank you!!</p>

<p>

Unless you are black/sub-Saharan African, you are lying.</p>

<p>I’m part Sudanian. Mother’s side</p>

<p>I’m liking your ECs quite a bit for Rochester and your GPA. The bummer is that CR score. Are you a graduating senior? Are there any SATII or AP scores that could help boost that CR a bit? Are you an American or Egyptian citizen?</p>

<p>Yes, I’m a senior. I have a dual citizenship.</p>

<p>@ jkeil911 I got a 4 on my AP English Language and Composition exam last year.</p>

<p>HAH! Hence, “African American”!! I love your sense of humor. </p>

<p>I think it’s time to call Rochester and talk to your admissions officer and see what the AO thinks of your app. I don’t know enough about uroc to know how they’re going to react to that CR in the context of your ECs, GPA, and personal experience (the one SATII isn’t a big enough push). It seems to me you’d bring a lot of diversity to campus, but maybe uroc will have found that diversity somewhere else this year. Do let us know what the AO says, please.</p>
