<p>VOLUNTEERING

<p>ESSAYS
I feel confident about my essay and I think my teacher recs will be very positive. </p>

<p>PORTFOLIO
I haven't worked a ton on my portfolio, which I know is bad, but I think it'll be good in the end. I have until January, so that's good news. I'm trying to come up with more creative pieces than well-drawn ones, and I think it'll be good and interesting, but not completely stand-out. </p>

<p>Improve by how much? </p>

<p>@Ayyyyylmao‌ dont listen to 1939er </p>

<p>Rice might be a long shot, but you’re well within range for the other programs you listed. Make sure you show your passion for architecture and individuality in your essays and portfolio. PM me if you have questions, I have similar stats to yours and we’re applying to some of the same schools.</p>

<p>You have good scores already but if you can improve your math that’d be awesome.
Id say you’ll get into all maybe rice?
If you got a 700+ math it would boost you up </p>
