<p>I've worked as a server in a retirement home for all of high school</p>

<p>Plan on going for Biomedical Engineering. I have a lot of financial need but I know Rice is need-blind so I don't think that would affect me. Would appreciate any insight on their aid generosity. Will chance back. Thanks!</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>I hope your chances are good because those numbers are similar to mine, except 35 ACT composite instead of ACT and my school doesn’t give A+. Are you applying ED? Because I feel like we’d have a good chance ED with good essays/interviews</p>
