<p>I've heard great things about UR's premed, can anyone concur, or would like to disagree? I'm mostly concerned about:</p>
<p>a. Professor Quality
b. Professor Accessibility
c. Prestige (though I dont really care that much)
d. Is the atmosphere overly competitive? Are the classes graded on a super-harsh curve where you could theoretically get an F in a class with a 92 because of the way the curve is set up, or are most classes (esp for premed) set up so there is no maximum amount of As and people get the grades they actually deserve?
e. This is random compared to the other stuff, but how fun is rochester? Are the people into sports, and like to do fun things like go to the movies, or skiing/other physical activities? Or are a lot of them nerdy lets go raise the curve and **** everyone else in the class over types?</p>
<p>If you can answer any of these questions, that will be greatly appreciated. O and btw, what are my chances :D (sorry I had to do this)</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
*I am an Asian Indian Male
*From a competitive public high school in Oregon, Beaverton High School, which was also rated the best AP school in Oregon, so yeah, its a smart school.
*student body at school = 500+</p>
<p>The Numbers/ECs
*Freshman year:
4.0 with honors in 2 classes for both semesters</p>
<p>*Sophomore Year:
3.8125 overall for both semesters
(Bs in AP Chem 1st sem, Precalc 2nd sem, Social Studies 1st sem)</p>
<p>*Junior Year (projected)
Human Anat/Phys-A,A
IB Bio HL 1-A,A
Spanish 3-A,A
IB Calculus-A, A (might be at worst 1 "B")
IB Psychology-A,A
Team Sports-A
IB English-B,B (might get 1 A)
IB Tok 1-B</p>
<p>IN SUMMARY: I should finish high school with at the very very worst a 3.67 or 3.7 UW GPA, but I'll do what ever I can to prevent that from happening.</p>
<p>*class rank UW right now = 38/515. Weighted = 30/515 (will go up because not many kids have taken hard classes yet)
