<p>Are you planning on doing the R/B prog?</p>

<p>Here's your chance at Rice.....assuming you're just applying regular ug....you've got okay stats, the b's wont kill you, the ec's are better than the stats....</p>

<p>how will the essays and recs be? did you already apply? what school are you applying under?</p>

<p>Here's how you find out your chances, fill out an application for Rice and submit it regular decision. The admissions people should let you know your chances in a month or two.</p>

<p>B's will not really hurt at all -- but one thing that sticks out to me is the 2 on the AP Euro exam -- especially when you have an A+/A grade. Now that's either a: crappy teacher, major grade inflation, or you having a bad day.</p>
