I applied RD. I requested an interview but the person wasn’t available and Rice sent me an email telling me not to worry about it. My box is pretty bland, just a piece of art I like.
SAT: 1570 (780 M/790 V)
SAT II: 800 Physics and Chem, 790 US, 730 Math II
GPA: 97/100 UW. Pretty sure that’s a 4.0.
Course rigor: high. 7 AP’s, 6 DE’s, the rest honors. Senior grades are straight A’s with high rigor
Demographics: white male, no hooks. I’m from NY and I’m Jewish but I don’t know how either of those things help.
Major: CS, second choice math
EC’s: they are as follows. In parentheses is the grades I did them in. No leadership or accomplishments unless otherwise noted.
-Math Team (11-12)
-Mock Trial (11-12), Vice President, qualified for regionals (by default but still qualified)
-Spanish National Honor Society (10-12)
-GenYES (9): technology club, got cancelled freshman year
Work Experience:
Summer Camp (summer after 8th to the summer after 11th): worked the first two summers as a volunteer, the second two as a paid counselor.
Retail job (12)
Essays: hard to judge so let’s just say poor to moderate in quality. I think my supplements are pretty bland, but I’m a fan of my “why Rice” essay. My “personal perspective” essay isn’t exactly bland, but after reading it again it may seem disorganized and confusing.
Recs: can’t say, so let’s say poor to moderate
Thanks in advance for the answers
