<p>U Rochester: Match</p>

<p>I would say U of R is not a good School unless you are an A student in High School (like SAT north of 2100). My son was a B student in High School who would have done very well elsewhere, but U of R did not even allow him to complete a Major in engineering, he had to be satisfied with a Minor. However, he still was able to get a Masters Degree in Engineering area of his choice with a very respectable GPA from another school (even though none of the U of R faculty even bothered to reply to his requests for recommendations to apply for Grad School) </p>
