<p>I was recently rejected from Stanford EA, and I was wondering about my chances of getting into Rice. Please be honest. If I don't have a chance, plz tell me.</p>

<p>I have a 4.00 GPA unweighted and 4.45 weighted.
I'm number 3 in my class of about 500.
SAT Scores 800 Math, 760 Reading, 750 Writing.
SATII Scores 800 Math II, 800 Chem, 790 Bio.
ACT: 36 Math, 36 Science, 33 Writing w/ 7 on the essay, 35 Reading (35 composite)</p>

<p>My curriculum is pretty hard I guess.

Calculus AB 5

(I got National AP Scholar and Siemen's Award for AP)</p>

<p>EC's
I run Track and Cross Country, but I didn't win any awards.
I'm president of National Honor Society.
I have over 500 hours of community service total.
I'm in clubs like mathlete and quizbowl.
I play A LOT of Ultimate Frisbee. I'm co-captain of the school's ultimate club.</p>

<p>My essays are probably abysmal (i m not a very good writer, enough to get a 5 on the English AP exam, but thats about it...really thats probably my only writing highlight of my life) and my Extra Curriculars aren't at all amazing.
btw, I m asian, so that counts against me right???</p>

<p>Your stats are ridiculously awesome. If you can play up your extra curriculars and show that you have a PERSONALITY (by writing awesome essays), you'll pretty much be in. But showing that you're more than numbers on a resum</p>

3

<p>^pretty much agree with above, I guess you were part of the stanford slaughter as well.
also, check the official ED results thread if you want to compare, your stats are pretty much better than all of us ED acceptances</p>

4

<p>You look like a Rice engineer. I like your chances to be admitted with a merit scholarship.</p>

5

<p>You from Bellaire?</p>
