<p>seeing everyone else's stats, makes me feel so stupid, lol. Yeah its pretty competitive, but if you're applying, I also suggest you write awesome essays as well. Rochester not only looks at score but overall character of the person.</p>

<p>Awakien... That is interesting that you say you are strong in science but weak in math...
I guess you are more of the biology type?</p>
<p>I did very well in Biology and Chemistry, and I don't know about Physics yet because I haven't done AP Physics, but I did very well in Regents Physics (the minimum physics requirement in NYS). I dunno, Im just more the science type - maybe its because math is so abstract while science can be more easily applied to stuff...</p>

Decent essays
I came to Rochester alone for my interview, which I think helped to demonstrate interest.</p>
<p>whoa those are some insanely imbalanced sat scores. I think in addition to our stats, we should also post what attracted us to rochester, for the future applicants to see.</p>
<p>For me it was the flexibility of the program, and freedom to study what you want. Plus what college creates its own colors, dandelion yellow and rochester blue, and has a weed for its flower, Dandelions.</p>
<p>curriculum definitely!!! and i just liked it when i visited. im all for choosing colleges based on gut feeling.</p>
<p>"whoa those are some insanely imbalanced sat scores."</p>
<p>Haha, are you referring to my scores? I'm absolutely terrible at math.</p>
<p>I chose Rochester for several reasons. I really liked the curriculum - obviously, I didn't want to have to take too much math. I think the size of the school is really nice (too large for everyone to be all up in my biznass all the time, too small to be impersonal).</p>
<p>SAT: 2200

<p>My essay was extremely personal and I thought it was pretty good but I didn't let anyone else read it. My extracurriculars were honestly just barely there. I'm against doing **** in high school that is only to get into college. I'm glad that I got into a college that I love without wasting my time with them. I'm from New York and was accepted regular decision.</p>
<p>hey north dakota exists! I swear I have never met anyone from north dakota, or anyone who has family there, visited, etc. I started to wonder if it was a real state, haha. </p>
<p>I also like the idea of not taking much math in the future. Everyone there seemed really nice and helpful, and the academic programs are excellent.</p>

<p>Woot Sci oly! </p>
