<p>Hook is not a hook. Can you estimate your GPA for me?
I actually don’t think your ECs are that week: you play sports, write, (well rounded) yet, it seems you have quite a passion for computer science/ software? I mean, your even doing something tech related this summer. Your ECs are quite good. </p>

<p>Give us some sort of estimated GPA… because I have no clue (canadian) what 94/92/87 is in terms of meeting standards…</p>

<p>My school converts things in a weird way. I believe 87-89 = 3.3
90 - 93 - 3.7
94 - 100 = 4.0</p>

<p>i think a more legit hook is that i’m a legacy at rice. not too sure why i didn’t say that in the first place</p>
