<p>I think you will most likely get in. They don’t have too many Asians (only 10%) so I don’t think your race will be an issue.</p>

<p>Thanks. I just have to nail the interview coming up this August!</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance of getting in. Don’t worry about the interview, I had mine earlier this summer. You don’t have to get dressed up too fancy (no suits or anything like that!), it’s very relaxing and like a casual conversation. Be prepared to talk about yourself and why you are interested in Rochester.</p>

<p>Thanks. I am anxious for the interview to come around. Anybody else? I heard they don’t value academic stats (GPA, ACTs) as much (or equally) as teacher recommendations and “character qualities”. </p>
