[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds terrific. Dc's stats are in the bottom half. I'm just wondering if they count the essays and interview as much as they say they do.

Our college counselor says they do (I'm the PP) and when we visited told my daughter to sign up for an interview immediately after visiting if she at all liked the campus/university.  So I know they take the interview/demonstrated interest seriously.  UR has a yield problem simply because well, it's upstate NY, cold, dreary, and it's Rochester---it's not Chicago or Boston or an overly exciting college town.  So they want to admit students who they believe will actually attend.

My daughter is very happy with her choice (it was her 3rd choice, maybe 2nd---got rejected by T10 ED school)---I actually always thought it was the best fit for her, aside from the physical location. Some people don't understand the cluster system, my kid got it immediately (so did I) and was thrilled she can take classes she actually wants to for her non-major courses. Only required course is Freshman writing.  Well my kid is taking that this semester, and managed to get one of the most wanted Writing Courses---Taylor Swift.  So even that is 1000x better than a typical freshman writing course at most colleges.  Academically she is thrilled with the school, socially she loves it, food and dorms ---well they are old but large and the food isn't the best, but I've seen much worse.
