<p>I've submitted everything to Rice University, and to help me deal with the anticipation I was just wondering what you thought my chances might be as a transfer student. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and respond!</p>
<p>I am a middle class, white boy who has lived in Texas my entire life.</p>
<p>-58 hours completed at community college (73 hours when semester ends)
-4.0 GPA at community college (including calculus sequence)
-ACT 29 [28 English, 28 reading, 30 mathematics, 28 science]
-Phi Theta Kappa
-Sigma Kappa Delta (National English Honor Society for two-year colleges)
-Outstanding Engineering Student (1 student chosen per department, per year at my cc)
-Best Public Speaker (1 student chosen by classmate vote, per semester at cc)</p>
<p>-High School rank was 7th out of ~100 students.
-High School GPA was ~3.8
-Editor of Yearbook in high school (received ~40 awards for photos, graphic design, etc.)
-University Interscholastic League Regional Qualifier in 4 separate writing events.
-AP calculus 4, English 3 (school only offered ~3 AP tests)</p>
<p>Community Service and Volunteering is weak or non-existence.</p>
<p>Lots of work experience as both a mathematics tutor for a lab and an appliance salesman.</p>
<p>One instructor evaluation is outstanding, but I have no clue what the other one says.</p>
<p>My common app essay and short answer questions were informative but not creative. My "Why Rice" and "Rice Supplement" essays are solid.</p>
<p>Most importantly, my "Rice Box" on the signature page was totally legitimate. Unfortunately the deadline hasn't passed so I can't tell you about it ;) </p>
<p>There are some other smaller awards, hobbies, honors, etc. but this gives you a basic idea.</p>
