<p>if at all you can raise your CR SAT score, you should be fairly competitive for Rice/Baylor. Good Luck (You wouldn't happen to be from Plano, would you).</p>

<p>lol i am from plano!!</p>

<p>i dont think i will be taking the sat again</p>

You definitely don't need to take the SAT again with that ACT, even though your essay is a bit low - but who cares that much about Humanities at Rice ;)? Otherwise, sounds like you have a decent shot - no guarantees for anyone, but in state helps somewhat.</p>

<p>Instate doesn't help - makes it harder! And President Leebron is looking to increase out-of-state enrollment, while holding instate numbers steady.... but definitely apply, and, your numbers look fine. :)</p>
