<p>Your resum</p>

3

<p>A LOT of people from my school are going to Rochester this year. I think about 4 or 5...two of which got full rides.</p>

<p>I'm taking AP Calc AB, AP English Literature, AP Spanish, and AP Government senior year. That's a total of six APs.</p>

<p>APs not offered at my school - Human Geography, World History, French Literature, German Language, European History, Italian Language and Culture, Psychology, Economics, Spanish Literature, and Latin Literature.</p>

<p>Therefore, while I'm taking an extremely challenging courseload, I'm not taking <em>all</em> APs. On the U of R website, it said that admitted students typically take between 2 and 7 APs. Since I'm going to take 6, that would place me in the upper end.</p>

<p>U of R is my best choice. I love the campus, the people, the lack of a core, the preparedness it will give me for law school, its great poli sci program, and its moderate...not extreme liberal or conservative disposition.</p>

<p>I'm socioeconomically well off I suppose...upper middle class in Philadelphia's main line. White. Jewish. So, no affirmative action for me. I was thinking that Rochester would be a match if I applied RD, and an almost sealed acceptance if I applied early.</p>

<p>i think you have a strong application, so most likely yeah.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, you'll be fine with RD then. </p>

<p>By the looks of it, you're quite competative and well off. As with all colleges, if your school has a history of people going there then you will be better off than another school where no one has attended. </p>

<p>The AP question was just as a referance, I know some people go out of their way and challenge the AP exams while others have a plethora at their school and they end up taking a sampling. </p>

<p>Anyways with my school it was either AP or basic, we had no honors so I ended up with 9 or 10 AP's. </p>

<p>Yeah RD will be fine.</p>

6

<p>AP at my school was horrible. we only have a total of three courses. So I took two of three, couldn't take ap spanish since I was in French III.
As for ED, don't do it. Keep your options open, you will most like get in RD</p>
