<p>i agree with jerryson but Rice, no chance because is all about scores they hardly ever accept people who arent high 2200's or better</p>

4

<p>wow, all those APs are impressive!!
it seems you're shooting a bit high with some of these, like WUStL and UPenn.
but what do I know? You're obviously very accomplished. Way to be! & good luck man.</p>

<p>goalkick, i disagree about Rice--if the OP is a great artist, that will have more weight than scores. I don't know Rice art dept., but I do know that Rice cares a lot about devotion to the prospective major. And there have been people with "less than stellar scores" who were accepted into Rice (many of them are from my school).</p>

<p>Keep trying, and you'll have a great shot!</p>

6

<p>safeties will obviously be Kansas University which they automatically accept you if you have a 3.0+ or 21+ on your ACT</p>

<p>and yes..there are asians in kansas..many too but probably not as many as there are in Cali and NY</p>

<p>yea i guess im being kinda biased cause from my school nobody gets in unless their scores are amazing</p>
