<p>I bet it will – take a few timed practice tests and then focus on your weak spots.
You sound like a very accomplished student, and with a little effort and positive spirit, your
SAT scores could be in the same league as your other achievements! Write about your research efforts and explain what kind of research you would like to do at Rice …
good luck to you and all the Class of 2015 candidates!</p>
