<p>Your chances at all of these schools are great. Make sure to write superb essays and to show interest.</p>

<p>Your chances are great. You also have the perfect number of ECs. Most kids have a stupid laundry list with a zillion different awards dating back to second grade. Rice accepts 40% of out of state applicants and is the cheapest of those schools (as well as the most prestigious). Definitely visit Rice and write them letters to show interest. </p>

<p>You might even get into Princeton since you're from Washington, give it a shot. Your scores are right in Princeton's range.</p>

<p>bill_smear,</p>

<p>Rice is a private school. It doesn't have to accept 40% of out ot state applicants</p>

<p>yo I know Rice is a private school. They still accept 40% of out of state applicants, mainly cause so many kids from Texas apply. Also Rice's yield with the kids from the East Coast isn't that good, considering that kids who apply to Harvard and Yale make Rice a safety school.</p>
