The UC’s do not provide any funding for non-residents. Can you afford $60K per year.
Also, CS is impacted; as a non-resident, you don’t get priority.

3

What do you think are your strengths and weaknesses?

4

Weakness is test scores, strength is ECs

5

You’ve got a decent chance at Rice.

6

Decent chance at all. A 34 on the ACT would make a significant difference.

7

You have a good profile. Your SAT II Chemistry is low though.

8

But at least you got a 4 on the Chemistry AP…

9

I meant that I took 4 AP classes that year, didn’t say scores for any AP exams

i think you’ll definitely get into rice, but you can’t really say anything 100% in college admissions. you have a good list and if you for some weird reason don’t get into rice i think you’ll get into a couple other of your choices. good luck!
