<p>I’d have to strongly disagree…but regardless, rice is irrelevant anyways</p>

22

<p>Just curious, what do you have against Rice, PioneerJones?</p>

23

<p>

</p>

<p>If only you lived in Texas and applied a year earlier…</p>

<p>Right now, UT is a solid match due to the funny OOS situation.</p>

24

<p>What funny oos situation???</p>

25

<p>

</p>

<p>Highly overrated. Also, Rice killed my parents.</p>

26

<p>Your in, 100%</p>

27

<p>I don’t think it’s overrated. And you should be pumped! You have a legacy at rice dude!</p>

28

<p>Oh I’m not so sure about that. Right now I have it listed as a low reach. What makes you say 100%?</p>

<p>Previously, the top 10% of Texas high school students got guaranteed admission to any public Texan university (which, for the top students, almost always meant UT). 70-75% of the class would easily be filled by these kids, leaving a small percentage of spots for other in-state students to compete for. Once those were sorted, a minuscule amount of places were left over for the OOS and international students. Now, they’ve changed the rank to the top 8% in order to ameliorate the OOS situation.</p>

<p>Wow the 2% really makes a big difference then, huh</p>

31

<p>^Of course, especially given Texas’s population. There were times when the Top 10% students were ~90% of the incoming class. It’s a great system if your school isn’t that good and you’re a CC caliber student.</p>

32

<p>Yeah but isn’t it down to about 70% now? And I’m new to cc so what’s a cc caliber student?</p>

33

<p>^We’ll see; top 8% is just being launched this year. Theoretically, it should help you. :)</p>

34

<p>Nice. We’ll see how it works out in practice tho</p>

35

<p>A CC-caliber student is the typical student you see around this site. In otherwords, the stereotypical overachiever whose ultimate goal is to get into a prestigious university.</p>

36

<p>Perfect attendance is def the key LOL. But seriously I think u are in whether u retake the SAT or not</p>

37

<p>Yeah idk if it means anything but whatever. And I’m probably gonna take it again anyways</p>

38

<p>Meh, so far I got good grades but that’s about it. Idk if u Texas counts as prestigious, but I certainly wouldn’t mind going there</p>

<p>As long as you’re happy. It is one of the 10 Public Ivies, though. [Public</a> Ivy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Ivy]Public”>Public Ivy - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>Ah, so I guess it is kinda prestigious =]</p>
