<p>Hey guys, I have a 3.6 GPA, 2000 sat score, 30 act score, 11 on the sat essay,
ECs: Aviation, NHS, NTHS, Rocketry, Debate, Chess, UIL, I was in band and jazz band and Drumline, swim team, ultimate frisbee club, and engineering club</p>
<p>President/Creator of Aviation club, we've gotten like 10 people to fly airplanes
President of NTHS
Section leader of band
Trying for class president this year
I have almost 2 years job experience as a book keeper
Started my own ebay business
Hopefully will have 200+ community service by the end of this summer
Hopefully a private pilots license by the end of the summer </p>
<p>Define “2 years as a bookkeeper”. 2 summers? or 2 years of continuous employment of how many hours per week? For your parents or an outside employer?</p>
<p>Anyone can start an ebay business. What are you selling and how much are you bringing in?</p>
<p>Its a long story, but I (with the help of a teacher) founded a high school aviation club. One of the first in Texas, it has grown to almost 30 people in less than a semester, over 10 people have received free flying lessons and flown a plane. Recognized in the news papers, TV, school websites, and college professors from UNT have asked to speak to the club. As president and founder, I made all of this happen.
Other interesting things- 1st Place in the state of Texas for chess. This was 7th grade, not sure if it’s relevant. I have a trophy that’s almost 6 feet tall though
Taking an engineering internship at a local business next year. Helped found the Ultimate Frisbee Organization at my school, one of the first members and supporters, there are no officers though
My parents own three businesses. I have been working two years as their secretary/bookkeeper. (This isn’t some slack off scam, I clocked in and out and was on payroll like any other employee) Roughly 20 hours a week. </p>
<p>Selling and reselling various electronics, collectibles, and vintage products, making up to 500 a week on most successful times. </p>
<p>Junior, almost senior. GPA is lacking, I know, but I’m taking 7 AP classes next year along with the internship I mentioned.</p>
<p>I’d say your extra-curriculars are interesting and being Hispanic will probably help, but you should try to get your test scores higher (2150+ or 33+ is probably the range for which you should be aiming).</p>
<p>Spend more time searching and reading this forum and I think you will be able to have a pretty good idea. Nevertheless, we can be sure you will not get accepted into Rice, or any other college, if you do not apply. Here is my view in a nutshell:</p>
<ol>
<li> It is going to be difficult to get into Rice with a 3.6 GPA.<br></li>
<li> It is going to be difficult to get out of Rice with a 3.6 GPA.</li>
</ol>
