<p>just telling everyone haha i need football practice to start up again so then I will have a life...</p>

<p>rice has a 30 percent ed acceptance rate opposed to 18 percent reg acceptance rate, and one of my parents went there </p>

<p>91 average from really hard houston prep school with median sat of 2185 <a href="http://www.sjs.org/ftpimages/80/down...3_id275938.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.sjs.org/ftpimages/80/down...3_id275938.pdf&lt;/a>, 2 honors courses, 4 aps (not the most rigous, i know). guidance counseler says that rice likes applicants from this school,as every year 9 people out of our 140 student senior class goes there.</p>

<p>At our school if you get a 93 average you are completely expected to go to an ivy or similar caliber school, so a 91 average isn't that bad, and the rice people told my dad that to them, being in the top half at st. john's is looked at as being number one anywhere else.</p>

<p>2170 sat and will retake aiming for at least 2200, above 80th percentile in 2 sat 2s</p>

<p>4 on modern european history ap</p>

<p>high honors (above 90 average) every year of high school</p>

<p>ecs:</p>

<p>leadership role event organizer in christian youth group</p>

<p>400 community service hours all with helping less fortunate like giving ronald mcdonald house kids guitar lessons, 3 years gold presidential service award, 1 year silver</p>

<p>had a job senior year doing gardening </p>

<p>4 years wrestling, 1 football, 1 track and field</p>

<p>french club 4 years</p>

<p>went to christian religious school every wednesday, pray and learn about theology and hang with friends</p>

<p>i'm going to ed to rice, please what are my chances?</p>

2

<p>I'd say you have a three-in-four chance. Pretty good.</p>

3

<p>good luck i'm also applying to rice ED
i don't know what chance we have but i'd say our strength of our applications is about the same</p>

4

<p>what's your last name and the first letter of your first name (I don't know if you'd want to give your full name on such a public forum)? good luck</p>

<p>just wondering in case we both get into rice, that would be really funny if we ended up in the same residential college or something.</p>

5

<p>So, since you've only taken four APs, how rigorous have your courses been?</p>

6

<p>they've been, for the most part, really hard, at least I think they have been, so many of my classmates are geniuses, like, if you have below a 2100 sat, you're considered pretty dumb at my school.
I probably should have taken more honors classes though.</p>

7

<p>Hm. Well, if your classes were rigorous, I'd say you've got a pretty good shot.</p>
