Currently, I am a Junior hoping to get into University of Rochester.
Right now, my WGPA is 3.84. My school does not give the actual GPA to colleges.
However, I think my real GPA is around a 3.4.
I have taken 3 AP classes and numerous Honors classes.
I am planning to take 3 more AP classes during my senior year.
Also, I have played in the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra for 2 years and the Philadelphia Young Artists Orchestra for 1 year.
If this helps, I also performed in All South Jersey Orchestra and placed 5th chair during my Junior year.
I have also played in my school pit for 2 years.
In addition, perform in both my school orchestra, jazz band and pep band for all 3 years.
I also threw in JV Track and Field for 2 years as a javelin thrower.
I have also interned at JFK Hospital (3 years) and Kwak Family Medicine(1 summer).
Also, I have went on 3 mission trips during my high school year(Dominican Republic, Mexico and South Carolina)
I have a 32 on the ACT.
I also attended NSLC at Northwestern under the medicine program.
My planned major is Psychology going with the premed track.
Also, I am wondering if having 3 C’s in Honors Geometry©, Honors Chemistry(C+) and Honors Pre-Calculus(C-) over the course of my past 3 years would greatly reduce my chances of getting in. Thank you for your help!

I know that this is a pretty old thread but I’ll give you some advise while applying. Your gpa (3.4) is below average and your ACT is above average for Rochester with your 6 other AP’s your planning to take gives you a total of 7 tests. According to a recent blog by the University of Rochester individuals shows that those who apply with 10 or more tests have a 90% chance of admission. Also individuals with only one test such as the ACT have a 28% admit rate.
Your extracurriculars seem to be really good however these are subjective factors so it’s hard to tell. Overall, I would say your chances could be anywhere from 50% to 70% success rate. Your gpa could lower your chances but you make up for it with above average ACT score and a high number of AP tests (assuming most are 4’s and 5’s). In addition to this your extracurriculars show commitment however lack leadership.Hope this helps and good luck.
