<p>Summer Programs:
This is a state-funded month-long program where I studied flight science at Appalachian State University for 4 weeks. I learned about the effects of air resistance and drag coefficient, as well as lift, thrust, and gravity, on the flight of a rocket in order to achieve maximum apogee and flight time. For my final product, I successfully designed a model rocket that achieved a maximum apogee of over 300 meters and a flight time of 26 seconds (this was completed through the use of a recovery system that deployed as predicted in test flights), as well as the composition of a paper that described the physics behind its construction and an in-depth analysis of the data</p>

<p>I’m not a student at Rice, but considering you just completely smashed all of my ECs, I’d say you have a pretty good chance. :)</p>

<p>Stats put you in range to get in. You should apply.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Yup, your extra curriculars just smashed all of mine. . . </p>

<p>Apply and good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks! Hopefully my mixed As and Bs won’t destroy me lol…that 7-point grading scale.</p>

<p>you will be fine. your class rank more than makes up for a few B’s. It shows the rigor of the curriculum</p>

<p>Thanks! I really hope so haha</p>
