<p>Rice does not superscore.</p>
<p>And shouldn't you already know if you were NMSF?... or are you a junior?</p>
<p>ya im a junior (I said I spent 4 years in the clubs I know I will be doing next year) ...but do i stand a decent change of being admitted?</p>
<p>I think your chances are really good. Lots of ECs. Your score isn't too bad either. I mean, I would try to raise the ACT to 34 if possible. Also, don't you need SAT II's? I applied but can't remember, haha...</p>
<p>I think being from Nebraska helps a lot, too. There are only 15 Nebraskan students at Rice according to Rice</a> University | Students</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>For the applicants of the 2009-2010 school year Rice DID superscore. Someone asked this question during the information session at Rice.</p>
<p>i agree with Modulation, you have a really really good chance in my opinion.</p>
<p>just do a good job on your essays and you are set :)</p>
<p>Rice superscored the ACTs? WOW why don't they tell people this...I had a 34 with a 35 superscored =/ Oh well it probably won't make any difference.</p>
<p>Rice super scored the last few years too so this is definitely not new. I'm not sure when they began the practice of super scoring though.</p>
<p>I don't think you need the SAT II's if you're using the ACT with writing, but I'm sure they'd like for you to take them anyway.</p>
<p>i volunteer at lakeside too!!! saturday afternoons…</p>
<p>Summer Research Internship at UNMC…researching neurogenitive disorders (cool stuff = D) (NOTE: HAVEN’T RECEIVED THIS YET…but my AP Bio teacher who has connections to this programs says I can probably easily get accepted into this program)</p>
<p>how do you get into this? i live right next to elkhorn high school. i used to go to Mount michael. now iam at millard north. any info about this research thing would be really appreciated.</p>
<p>Too soon. You have another semester to impress Rice haha.</p>
<p>But keep it up and you’ll have a great shot!</p>
<p>hey…its nice 2 see another nebraskan here at CC! I’ll keep this brief bc this is the “Rice forum,” but this year its a little late for the internship…the deadline was back in late March. If you want though, I’d google the Travis B. Lewis scholarship and all the info will be there!</p>
