University of Rochester 1/27/2001
I LOVE University of Rochester!!! I can't say enough good things about it! I went there in a bad mood, expecting it to be a disappointment, just like RIT, but just seeing the school made me smile. I LOVED it!!! I soooooooooo want to go there, but it's my reach school. They want a minimum of a 1230 and I only have an 1170.
By the time I graduate high school, I will have taken only 4 AP classes and 7 enriched classes. I have a 92 average, which is what UR wants, but there are so many other high shools which offer more enriched and AP classes, they have special classes in the school that prep kids how to take the SAT...I come from a mediocre public school...how can that compete with boarding schools, magnet schools, and private schools where the people that attend receive the finest education money has to offer??? I'm screwed.
I'm in three honor societies, USY, karate, Colorguard, Suffolk Bike Riding Association, Art Club, Spanish Club, I'm the illustrator of both our school magazine and newspaper, amongst other things. I attended Carnegie Mellon's summer art progrm and I've received various awards. Even with all this, the people I was on the tour with made me look like such an underachiever. I also sent in about eighteen of my slides, even though I'm not going to be an art major. I was told by the admissions office that I was allowed to do that because it would help personlize my application. My essay kicks ass, and my recommendations were all good. Then, I found two mistakes in my application. I applied to University of Rochester electronically (I had to, it was required). I have a copy of it. I forgot the "h" in pamphlet and when I meant to say "I want to participate..." I forgot to write "to." I'm so pissed. It was a really long application, and things with the application got messed up so I didn't get the application to them until right before the deadline. When I had proofread it I thought I fixed all of the mistakes.STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!! The one school I wanted to go to, that I honestly believe is near perfect, and I mess up their application!!! I never thought I could love a school as much as I love Rochester. I wanted it so badly... My mother and sister assured me that I could always transfer after first semester, because transferring makes it easier to get into the school, but I REALLY want to go!!! It has a 66% acceptance rate, that HAS to help me...right? Errrr, I feel like crying...later...
