<p>Hey just seeing if anyone could help me out here.</p>

<p>Large public high school in Kansas-one of best in state-was on U.S. News Best Schools, bronze I think.
Middle Class-~50k/yr I think
22/384 in class, (~6%) weighted-4.44 GPA
1/384 unweighted 4.0</p>

<p>ACT-34
SAT-CR-740 M-720 W-640 (2100)</p>

<p>Awards:
National Merit Semifinalist (12) (likely finalist I guess)
AP Scholar (12)
Kansas Honors Scholar (12)</p>

<p>Previous AP Classes
European History-5, US History-5, and English Lang. and Comp.-4</p>

<p>Schedule:
AP Spanish 5
AP English Lit. IV
Husky Headlines
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics B
AP US Government</p>

<p>Activities:
Cross Country (9-12)-3 year varsity, co-captain, individual state qualifier
Husky Headlines Broadcast News Team (11-12)-award winning news show,4th in nation last year
Class Officer (10-12)-very involved in student government

<p>Employment:
Worked for past 2 years at an ice cream shop-10-15 hrs/wk in school, 30+ in summer</p>

<p>Good essays, great teacher and counselor recs.</p>

<p>Would like to enter engineering.</p>

<p>Also, is there ANY chance for a merit scholarship? I'm concerned about getting in, but this really the determining factor if I go there, since I will be paying for my own college. I know with the new financial aid I can get a lot from that, but still. </p>

<p>Also, does anyone know how much the family would be expected to pay after the full need is met for a ~50k family? </p>

<p>Any other schools where I would fit in I might want to look into as well? </p>

<p>Sorry for all the questions, thanks so much.</p>

<p>I am certainly no expert concerning college admissions, but I aver that you have a good chance of acceptance. Your GPA is awesome, at least in my opinion. Your AP record is also really impressive.
I have no clue what their merit scholarship qualifications are like.
Sorry :/ wish that I could help more!</p>

<p>I think your ACT is better than your SAT, so I'd advise sending it.</p>

<p>Anyone else have any thoughts?</p>

<p>you are the valedictorian of your school and have a good SAT and AMAZING ACT. I think you have an amazing shot of getting in.</p>

<p>Def send in your ACT, it is around a 2260</p>

<p>The 1/384 is for unweighted, for weighted it is 22/384.</p>

7

<p>i think everything is covered for you (no loans) if your family makes under 80K</p>

<p>Rice takes your weighted rank....</p>
