<p>First, I'd like to know the law-school acceptance rate. Second, I've read that applying early does not help (and may actually hurt). Is this true?</p>
<p>Bump...could I please get a reply?</p>
<p>applying early definietly helps, i dont know where u hrd that I applied ED and got in and my gpa and SAT werent that bad but they werent the close to the average at ROchester. But i did show a lot of interest and some hooks like community service etc.</p>
<p>Now, how about the law school placement?</p>
<p>not sure cus i m interested in medicine sry call them up or research their site</p>
<p>Read a book</p>
<p>Hmm. You see, I try e-mailing them...it's been 5 days, they haven't gotten back to me.</p>
<p>Thanks for being so helpful. Have you people forgotten what this board is all about?</p>
<p>I reckon the admission counselors are on vacation because I also emailed them about the other thing, and even called them up last Friday, leaving a voice message, but no feedback so far.</p>
<p>We want to help you, but we know nothing of it, and don't want to give out wrong information. So sorry!</p>
<p>I wasn't being sarcastic, HeavenWood. Go pick up a USNews magazine or guide book... or even check out their website. They have every stat you could ever want/need.</p>
<p>Law School: 88%
Med School: 86%</p>
<p>hopkinslax, do you know what the pre-med average gpa is?</p>
<p>88%? Awesome...now I'm DEFINITELY applying...I can probably get in easy RD, but to play it safe I might apply ED...</p>
<p>they do have ED II if ur interested too where u just say u want to go ED around january if u want to wait...</p>
<p>100% of students with at least a 3.6 GPA were accepted to Medical School</p>
<p>hopkinslax, do we have any physical education requirement?</p>
<p>in terms of pre-law, I emailed a while ago here is there stats.</p>

<p>Hi! I coordinate the pre-law advising at the Univ. of Rochester and
look
forward to working with you if you decide to attend our institution!<br>
Prof.
Bennett forwarded your email to me and I'll try to answer some of your
questions
regarding where our applicants go to law school and how successful they
are with
the application process. Below are some stats from the past
application year.</p>
<p>For the 2004-05 application season, we had 150 students and alumni
apply to law
school. Of those, 125 (83%) were accepted at one or more schools. The
national
acceptance average is 59%. For our seniors only, our acceptance rate
was 88%
compared to a national average of 67%. So as you can see, our
students, and
alumni, do very well in the application process! I am in touch with
admissions
representatives from a number of the top schools and they are fully
aware of the
outstanding education that students receive at our school.</p>
<p>As for where our applicants end up
we have many enrolled this fall at
top
schools including, Harvard, Columbia, NYU, U. Michigan, Cornell, Duke,
Georgetown, UCLA, Boston Univ., George Washington, Boston College and
many, many
more. Of those who matriculated at a law school for this fall, 42% are
attending a school ranked in the top 50 by US News and World Report and
rises to
78% if you consider all the schools they have ranked in their top 100.
Obviously, there are many things that add to their application
including grades
and LSAT scores, but we work as closely as we can with each applicant
to ensure
that they put together the strongest application possible.</p>
<p>I hope this gives you a general idea of how our applicants fair in the
process
but if you have any further questions, please dont hesitate to ask.</p>

<p>nice letter there...and about phys.ed., i thought there weren't any requirements except for the writing thing...although that may be academically...but i don't think u have to take phys.ed., it's just how much time u want to spend in the gym...i guess its how well u want to manage ur time...part of being an adult...</p>
<p>There are no requirements except for the writing program that every freshman must do, but I think it is good to do because you will see what is expected of your writing in college and you'll have a chance to better it over high school.</p>
<p>Thanks, suman and hopkinslax!! :)</p>
<p>yeah, i'm looking forward to improving my writing...what are the choices of the writing course?</p>
