<p>good chance, but class rank definately hurts</p>

6

<p>^^^^^^Yah, I know they say that 70 percent of Rice's incoming class is top 5 percent, and 85 percent of its incoming class is top 10 percent.......(Weakest part of my application)</p>

<p>The Sat Score Range is 1330 to 1510....Reading and Math only, its where they place most of their emphasis on..........</p>
