Through some sort of twisted fate, the two tended to be paired in group projects and had a hot-and-cold friendship, eventually becoming more permanently positive. Paris and Rory continuously clash throughout their academic career at Chilton as Paris views Rory as competition – both for Harvard and early on, the affections of Paris' childhood crush, Tristin. Notably, Rory's rocky beginning at Chilton is shadowed by a group of three girls, Paris Geller heading the trio. She finishes her first year in the top 3% of her class. Rory begins to blossom at Chilton, and shows her potential to be a great and gifted student. Max Medina eventually takes a special interest in Rory and after the incident, reaches out and tells her he has extra credit options that can help her make up for the missed test.

After receiving the D, Rory spends hours studying for a Shakespeare exam for which she ends up being late, due to the fact that a deer hit her car, and was not allowed to take the exam. Rory has a difficult start at the highly competitive Chilton, receiving her first ever D on a paper in Max Medina's English Literature class. To pay tuition, Lorelai asks her estranged parents for help and they agree to pay on one condition: Lorelai and Rory must attend a weekly ' Friday Night Dinner' at 7:00 pm. Rory attends the prestigious Chilton Prep for the rest of her high school career. During her last days at Stars Hollow High School, Rory meets the new kid in town and her first boyfriend, Dean Forester. Shortly after starting her sophomore year, Rory starts attending Chilton leaving her best friend Lane Kim behind. She spends her first year of high school attending the local Stars Hollow High School with Lane, but is accepted to the prestigious Chilton which can improve her odds in getting accepted Harvard, a lifelong dream of Rory's. Rory's story is mainly told through her studiousness, harnessed by her mother from an early age and by no means forced or rejected by Rory, but rather embraced as almost a sole identifying characteristic. She is generally friendly and sweet, and her wide blue eyes and rosy cheeks give her a youthful, innocent appearance. She shares her mother’s tastes for junk food and movies, and also her quick wit- though Rory often relies more upon her book smarts (quite literally, as she often quotes the various novels she’s read) for her humor.

She is often buried in a book or newspaper during her free time. Arguably, all Rory ever wanted was to live a comfortable, quiet life in Stars Hollow. This is substantiated by Rory's unwillingness to alter her predestined future, admit when something goes wrong or even accept that mistakes are good for her, instead feeling any 'failure to comply with the prerequisites for her Gilmorian future' equal her being a failure as a person. This could be attributed to the enormous expectations her grandparents and, inadvertently, her brilliant mother, have put on Rory, as well as Rory's biggest wish: to emulate her mother. While she is commended for her hard work as a writer, she falters completely in the world at journalism, somehow never realizing that maybe this is not the profession for her. For whatever reason, in spite of her nature being to plan and preferring to know what's coming ahead, Rory decides to become a journalist. Rory is an introverted, at times socially awkward person, who fares best in Stars Hollow, where she seems to feel comfortable being herself, as part of the town. She's always applying herself scholastically and doing well when asked to perform tasks that have instructions (notably she tells Mitchum Huntzberger she's always done what was asked of her, and receives a higher SAT score in maths than in verbal). Rory is defined by her mother's decision to leave her parents and their wealthy life behind, as Emily, Richard and Lorelai herself, put the expectations of a 'great future' (the one the three of them imagined for Lorelai) on Rory's shoulders.

At the start of the series, she is a sophomore in high school, and when the series concludes, she is a recent college graduate.

It is stated that Lorelai had wanted Rory to attend Harvard since she was three years old. Her father was rarely around during her childhood years. It wasn't until she began school at Chilton that her grandparents became a regular presence in her life. Rory had limited contact with her grandparents, Richard and Emily Gilmore, when she was growing up, usually only seeing them during the holidays. Though born in Hartford, Connecticut, Rory was raised in Stars Hollow where her mother originally worked as a maid at the Independence Inn. She was born on October 8th, 1984 at 4:03 in the morning. Lorelai 'Rory' Leigh Gilmore is the only daughter of Lorelai Gilmore and the first born daughter of Christopher Hayden (notably her parents were 16 years old when Rory was born).
