<p>Hello Everybody, I recently applied for a seat in the University of Rochester's Class of 2018 for the fall term under the Regular Decision designation. I'm a senior at the Bronx High School of Science, so I suppose that my credentials are generally unique to others who may not be of the same caliber. This is my first-choice school.
Below is some of my information </p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.26
Bronx Science doesn't rank.
SAT-I: 2120
Math: 740
Reading: 660
Writing: 720 </p>
<p>SAT-II: Mathematics Level 2: 740 </p>
<p>This year, I'm taking all general AP courses or at least college-level. This includes Calculus, Astronomy and Astrophysics (which I'm receiving college credit for) Advanced Italian Conversation (can be considered AP since we share the same class and tests and assignments as the AP students.), AP Comparative Government, and AP Psychology. I'm hoping to have at least 88's in these classes by the end of the term. In the past, I've taken AP European History and AP United States History. I received a 3 and a 5 on the Ap Exams, respectively. </p>
<p>Extracurricular Activities: </p>
<p>-Conducted Independent Research at Montefiore Hospital, finding alternate treatments for brain cancer for the past two years. </p>
<p>-Participated for two years on the school's world-renowned Speech and Debate Team, (Qualified for State Championships, but had to decline because of SAT's.) </p>
<p>-Outdoors Varsity Track Sophomore Year. </p>
<p>-Filipino Club Freshman year. </p>
<p>-Red Cross Bronx Science Chapter for the last two years. Organized a joint effort between the Filipino Club and the Red Cross club to create a relief package for those affected by Typhoon Haiyan. </p>
<p>I'm a multi-racial student (Half-Filipino, Half-Caucasian.) I've recently interviewed with an alum of the University of Rochester, and she seemed relatively impressed. We laughed, and I showed my interest and the fact that I did my research for the school. According to my dad, who was watching from outside, he was the only parent to whom the alum walked over and talked about my fit as a student. I really emphasized my interest in the academic freedom at Rochester, since I'm a student of multiple passions interests (European Studies, especially Italian Culture, and the Biological Sciences. I realize that the school judges by personal character match above all else, and I feel that this school would be the best institution for me to thrive at. My college essay and supplement both reflect this. </p>
<p>i live in Queens, New York.</p>
