<p>Hmm, my SAT scores weren't phenomenal and my EC's weren't really as depthful as yours... But you may wanna work on that score a bit. I'm sure if you can explain your GPA properly, then they will definitely consider you. If colleges aren't lying to you, then the SAT is far from the most important thing in your application.</p>
<p>your extracurriculars are pretty impressive. the thing is, unlike SAT or GPA, what you do on your application is really the measure of its worth. for SAT and GPA you just get them and then thats it. now you have to make something of your extracurriculars. </p>

<p>geez! those things are amazing. i didnt come close to that kind of involvement. on the caltech forum, there was a girl who wanted to apply at your age, and she was recommended by a knowledgeable fellow from caltech to wait a year. i dont know if thats possible for you. i guess if you skipped a grade before high school you are kinda stuck. </p>
<p>gpa/rank is considered heavily by rice. what is your rank?</p>
