<p>So I graduated in 2000 in the bottom half of my class, scored a 27 on my ACT and went to community college. I left C.C. with a 1.7 gpa ( based on 6 hours). I took 2 years off and then I went back to school in 2004. I now have 45 hours with a 3.75 gpa. I'm in Student Government and the History club. I received the Scholastic leadership award from my college last semester and I am nominated for a couple this semester but those won't be on this application. </p>
<p>I'm looking at Rice right now and am wondering what my chances are. If I don't get in I figure I'll strengthen my app over the summer and re-apply, as well as applying to Reed and UT Austin. Can anyone help me out, I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.</p>
