GPA - 6.3~6.4 on a 7.0 scale, I'm not sure how to convert it until I get a copy of my transcript.
I had to move after freshman year and I was adopted. My grades were really bad freshman year, but improved since then, last semester I had straight A's in all of my classes. </p>

<p>My classes are the hardest that's possible at my school

<p>I don't get to volunteer much outside of school because every weekend I go from my adopted parents house and my birth parents house. </p>

<p>Am I missing anything?
What do you guys thinks my chances are at Rice if I apply Interim?
Do you think I should try for some other colleges or would they be too much of a reach? I am also applying to UT for safety and Columbia as a major major reach.</p>

<p>bump~ help please</p>

<p>i think u r in all the way</p>

4

<p>What school are you in that offers all the AP's?
(I moved to Houston recently and I keep seeing IB public schools with little AP)</p>

<p>I think, though nothing's guaranteed, that you have a pretty darn good shot at rice! It probably isn't out of the question that you'd get merit aid as well.</p>

<p>You'll probably get into Rice, definately to UT; Columbia is a bit more unpredictable, although you have a good chance.</p>

<p>You might want to look at:</p>

<p>Dartmouth (Reach/Match)
UPenn (Match)
Cornell (Match)
Wesleyan U (Match)
UChicago (Match)
John's Hopkins (Match/Safety)
Emory (Match/Safety)
Vanderbilt (Match/Safety)
Carnagie Mellon (Match/Safety)
Case Western (Safety)
Trinity U. (Safety)</p>

<p>Just my 2 cents.</p>
