Play drums for my church praise and worship team which takes around 5 hours a week to prepare for. Besides music as being one of my major hobbies, I do enjoy computer programming and anything related to the computer.</p>

<p>Other:</p>

<p>I had an interview with a University of Rochester alumni, and apparently UofR considers the interview to be a "Very Important" aspect of the application. So hopefully the interview will boost my admissions somewhat.</p>

<p>Essays are decent, nothing spectacular though.</p>

<p>Schools:</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins University
University of Washington
University of Rochester
University of Wisconsin - Madison
University of Oregon
University of Pittsburgh</p>

<p>UofR is my top choice, I really want to get in there.</p>

<p>Thanks for your input in advance.</p>

<p>We live one city to the west, so I meet folks from U of R. To me you sound like the right fit, because you're very hardworking with all those AP's and the musical instruments pursued over a long time; service commitment with the church. Sounds good from here. I sure hope you get Choice #1.</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinion paying3tuitions. I really hope I get into U of R as well, it will be a very sad day if I am rejected from my top 3 schools.</p>
