Hi! Senior here. If it’s not too much trouble, I’d like to ask about my chances of getting into Rice, or other high-tier schools like Vanderbilt, MIT, Tufts, or Pomona. Here are the highlights of my profile:
Testing:
34 ACT Composite, 1 sitting. 35 English, 32 Math, 34 Reading, 33 Science, 9 Writing (out of 12, right?)

760 SAT Math II, 730 SAT Physics, 740 SAT US History
Extracurriculars:

2nd Place, IT Innovation Cup (basically a yearlong team-based computer engineering contest with a good community service hook, I made a virtual reality environment with Oculus Rift to treat PTSD)
Robotics Team
Marching Band
Concert Band
Junior Varsity Tennis

Grades & Class Rank:
3.84 Unweighted GPA out of 4. (My school does not weight GPA) Ranked 30 out of 485 at the end of my Junior year, weighted class rank. These will probably go up slightly by the end of the semester, as my current GPA is 3.90 and I’m taking a lot of harder classes.
