started a few clubs and organized a walk in my community to support cancer research</p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>definitely, my stats are basically identical, and i got a 6K scholarship, so they may have thought you were using them as a safety...</p>
<p>as long as you write a letter expressing your interest and say that UR is your top choice and possibly send in additional recs youll get in</p>
<p>how come you posted in the CMU thread saying you got a 1900/2400 on your SATs?</p>
<p>poopoohead, certainly yep for you. As my stats are way worse than yours, but got accepted at last. I don't find any reasons they would put you into the waitlisted group than considering you were using them as a safety. So like stonecold23 said, just send them a interest letter. Then, you should be all fine.</p>
<p>Wait for your good news! :-)</p>
<p>i got waitlisted too! what did you guys put in the comment box? I just put i am looking foward in coming to University of Rochester</p>
<p>courtney- i rounded down in the other threads because I didnt copy and paste from this thread.</p>
<p>is there anything else I can do other than sending them a letter?</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>Send your adcom a letter! Have your guidance counselor call and ask if there is anything additional that can be done since U of R is your #1 choce.
Reiterate that theme in an e-mail since the yield at U of R has been quite low.</p>
<p>What should you say if U of R is not your first choice, but rather you are highly considering it, that is, it is really high on your list?</p>
<p>Stiill haven't heard from UR. Expect to be waitlisted though because of the delay in notification.
Did you all have the UR interview? I didn't, but not for lack of trying. I responded to the e-mail, signed up for one, called admissions, but never got contacted by an alum in my area.</p>
<p>i drove 6 hours in snow, hail, rain, and windy weather just to have an interview on campus and i still got waitlisted, talk abou how much effort i had put into this</p>
<p>Ouch! Did they offer to have an interview locally? Are you in Northern NJ?</p>
<p>You put the effort in but apparently your stats were not high enough to gain acceptance. Your GPA is 3.5 weighted and your SATs were 2050. Was your M and Verbal 1350?</p>
<p>Hopefully you had solid grades enior year and your GC can attest to that with a call.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted as well :-(</p>
<p>GPA: 3.6 (unweighted) 4 AP courses.</p>
<p>SAT: 1960/2400
V - 610
M - 600
W - 750</p>
<p>extra: art club president, newspaper editor, SADD/French Club/Book Club/Service Club member, hospital volunteer, etc.</p>
<p>excellent recs & creative essays.</p>
<p>Wow Jenny ... you should definitely write them a letter telling them that - as for why people got waitlisted: it seems these days stats are meaning less and less because its what you write in your short response/essay sections that really makes you stand out.</p>
<p>if you have a copy of what u wrote or if u can access the Admissions page again - Check the status of ur app and read what u typed for their Part 2. Not to be cocky or anything but i was really surprised by what i read (it actually sounded good lol). A friend of mine has almost the exact stats as me but he got into Swarthmore with an awesome "Why Swarthmore?" essay. So its all very subjective...</p>
<p>best of luck to everyone waitlisted and still hoping to get in - I believe UofR chose to waitlist you guys for a good reason (instead of a flat-out rejection). Hope you get in!</p>
<p>a bit off topic...</p>
<p>Awakien, are you still considering UAlbany? Based on your stats and the aid you got, I strongly suggest you to go to UR! ^^</p>
<p>when is everyone else sending in their decisions to remain on the waitlist? I just sent mine today with a letter of interest and some updates, hopefully, it's enough to have them admit me...</p>
<p>lol UAlbany has long been off my list since my acceptance to UofR behappy99 =P</p>
<p>heh i ********ted that one, i just cut and paste what i wrote for my why princeton on and only changed the name of the school to urochester.
i think i've done pretty good to at least get this far!</p>
