Chances at Rice?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>GPA: 3.85 UW</p>

<p>My school doesn't rank</p>

<p>Classes: Took 3 APs junior year and 3 senior year, which is basically the most you can take while still fulfulling graduation requirements. Got an A or A- in all AP classes.</p>

<p>Clubs/Sports/Volunteer/EC: Tennis Varsity letter 4 years, captain senior year, won two state championships. Writer for school newspaper for 2 years. Played cello, first chair in school orchestra. Part of Young Life(religious organization) for four years. Registered voters for 08 presidential race. Volunteer teaching tennis to kids. Volunteered last summer teaching English to foreign grade schoolers (I wrote my essay about that).</p>

<p>Test Scores: 34 ACT, 35 English, 33 Math, 35 Reading, 34 Science, 9 Writing. 5 on AP Calc AB, 5 on AP US, 4 on AP Spanish Language.</p>

<p>If you have any idea how I'd fare as far as admissions, any input would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Should also say that my freshman gpa was a 4.0, while sophomore year was about a 3.7 and junior year was a 3.8, just because I hear the UC schools don't look at freshman year as much. </p>

<p>Also, unfortunately I didn't decide Rice was my top choice until after it was too late to get an interview, but do you think sending them an email expressing my regret would have any impact?</p>

Your ACT score is really great and so is your GPA
You are definitely well qualified in all aspects and have pretty good ECs
Hopefully your essay and recs were good

But best of luck, I hope you get in!!!</p>

<p>I think you have a reasonable shot at Rice.
Don’t worry about the interviews though, it’s not a big deal.</p>

<p>My brother had an interview scheduled with Columbia but somehow he didn’t even get up to meet up with the man. But he was still accepted regardless. :P</p>

<p>so you think sending an email wouldnt be necessary? its basically the only thing i could do at this point and i want to do everything i can.</p>
