2

<p>You have absolutely great stats. Congratulations. You SHOULD get in and probably will. But with highly selective schools, nothing is certain.</p>

3

<p>Are you a minority (not white or asian)?</p>

<p>You have really great stats and I think if you are a URM from Alabama you will have a really great shot at acceptance.</p>

4

<p>No, I’m white, so no help there. I’m thinking maaaaaybe the Alabama thing will help out some. I’m gay, if that helps out at all. I know that MIT asks on their application, but I dunno if Rice factors that in.</p>

5

<p>I don’t think they factor that in. I’d say you still have a good chance at getting in even if you aren’t a URM as long as you don’t tank Senior year.</p>

6

<p>Killer stats. Should stand a strong chance in RD Rice.</p>

7

<p>I am so jealous of your stats! Congratulations on all of your success. I think you have a great chance of getting into Rice.</p>

8

<p>Hey we have the same SAT breakdown!
I think you’re a shoo in</p>

9

<p>You are right at the average, good luck!</p>

10

<p>Evan, your stats are awesome and I think you have a grreeatt chance at getting in. Did you apply ED or RD? Have you demonstrated interest? Were you “out” on your application? (I’m gay too and made it known in one of my application essays… I applied ED.) Good luck to you!!</p>
