<p>Your leadership experience could inspire memorable essays… How did you make a difference when you were in charge, and what do you plan to bring to the Rice campus? Writing about what you’ve done at the McLean County Urban League could make a strong impression. Also, something about your hospital volunteer work and how it might have led you to a pre-med path … The recs sound good, too – good luck!</p>
<p>You have a good shot, work hard on those essays and rock the interview! My rice interview/essays were my favorite experience throughout the college application process and I think were definitely the deciding factors for my app. Good luck and make sure those essays are memorable! Try looking at them from a different perspective rather than answering them completely directly, if that makes sense.</p>
<p>Dude that ACT is not too hot. According to the admissions people they will be accepting less people this year. Last year the middle 50% of applicants who got in had between a 31 and a 34</p>
<p>^^ The ACT score is not going to disqualify you from admission. The higher the score, the better, so retake the ACT if you can/feel like, but do not feel like it is mandatory to your admission.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
