could i possibly get in?

<p>im currently a high school junior and am in the process of drawing up a finalized list of colleges to which i could apply. i am aware of rice university's prestige and need opinions as to whether or not i could be accepted if i applied.</p>

<p>GPA: after first semester junior year...3.9
SATI: 2290 (800CR, 750M, 740W)
SATII: 780 Math II, 760 Bio, 720 Literature
AP Classes: am enrolled in AP Chemistry and AP United States History
Senior Year course load: AP Physics, AP Economics, AP Calculus AB, AP Law and Government, AP English Literature, Advanced Writing and Composition (am not sure whether i should drop spanish or not)
Extracurriculars: I am a nationally ranked diver (I have been diving for 12 years), sing in the church choir, and am on the math team. I am not sure whether or not i will dive in college yet.</p>

<p>If you are a current student at Rice, I would value your opinions and any advice that you could give me. Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Your stats look terrific. APs, gpa, SATs, ECs, (a bit weak), overall looks fine. </p>

<p>Do you have leadership? Are you recruitable? (as a nationally ranked diver is GREAT, but it will open more doors if you’re recruitable) Do you need FA? Are you from an URstate? Are you an URM? These matter too.</p>

<p>Explain why Rice is special to you. Visit if you can. And don’t drop Spanish. Can’t tell you whether you’d get in; I’m not on their admissions committee.</p>

<p>you have a great chance. period.</p>

<p>But again, no one knows if you’ll get in or not. It’s hard to say. I was shocked that I got in early with my SAT scores (Reading 630 Math 790 Writing 750 (12)) while others with 2300 + legacy got rejected…</p>

<p>It’s hard to predict.</p>

<p>I am definitely recruitable as an athlete, but for personal reasons I am not yet sure whether or not I would continue diving in college. I would need financial aid if I got in.</p>

<p>FA won’t influence your admittance decison. Of course you could get in - but there are no guarantees. You have the stats, and a very unique EC, diving. Apply and take your chances. :)</p>

<p>GotRice, one reason that MAYBE you got in vs someone with 2300 was b/c Mr./Ms. 2300 might not choose to go to Rice. I suspect they were thinking a lot about their yield with that decision.</p>

<p>Whats your geographic location? If you are a houston resident, it will be hard to predict, however if you aren’t, your most likely in. Even if you are a houston resident, you still stand a great chance, but it will just be more random.</p>

<p>i live in in connecticut</p>

<p>Your set, Rice wants to expand its name in the Northeast, so you have a great chance.</p>

<p>your scores are nearly perfect, what is the meaning of a chance thread in this case?</p>

<p>Does AP Law and Government even exist?</p>

<p>haha yes there is an AP Law and Government…at least at my school. i’m just worried that my GPA is a bit on the low side…</p>

<p>and would you recommend that i drop spanish completely for next year? or should i at least take regular in order to have that class for all four years</p>
