Chances for Rice Engineering

<p>I make good grades and take tough classes but I go to a small private school so there are more people like me who work hard which makes my class standing low. If I had to estimate my class standing it would be 7-8/60 . On paper my GPA looks good. I make almost all A's but have made a couple of B's in history and English classes throughout high school. I am very strong in math and science. I have taken Calculus AB, Calculus BC, and Physics B and received 5's on all of the AP tests.</p>

<p>I have very good test scores but I am planning on retaking them in the fall to try and improve. I have taken one SAT, one ACT, and two SAT subject tests.</p>

<p>SAT
Composite: 2110
M:790
CR:650
W:670
I am planning on retaking this test to try and get above a 2250</p>

<p>ACT
Composite: 34
English:33
Math:34
Reading:33
Science:35
Essay:8
I am going to also retake this test to improve my math and writing scores</p>

<p>SAT Subject tests
Math level 2: 800
Physics: 790</p>

<p>I am Hispanic and I have decent extra curricular activities: Varsity tennis, Choir, lots of community service and I have an internship at a medical clinic, NHS, NHRP, etc...</p>

<p>Rice: Reach</p>

<p>I hope you have a non-reach lined up…</p>

<p>I only have one school which I would consider to be a safe school and that is Texas A&M. I am also applying to UT Austin but I am not sure if I will get in because I don’t have automatic acceptance. If you have any suggestions for safe schools or semi safe schools I should apply to than please post </p>
