@damndaniel14 You have a nice Sat. You could use a higher GPA. Rice has a common data sheet and you can look at last years. I have seen students with perfect GPA’s not get in. It is especially hard if you are from Texas.I have seen someone get in with a 93 before not sure how your grade compares.
http://oir.rice.edu/Common_Data_Set/ I know my son got in with 2 "B’s but it may be because he is from a state not many people apply from. He also applied early decision. He had a beter chance then.
What state/country are you from? Have other students from your high school been admitted to Rice in the past per Naviance? If so, how do your stats compare with theirs? Rice gets a lot of applications from high statistics kids like you. Work very hard on your Why Rice essay and let your personality shine through on the Rice Box. Good Luck!
I’m from South-east asia (Nepal) mate. Not a lot of people apply to Rice from here. I only know one senior who has gotten in. From my school, the maximum number of ED applicants for Rice is 2.
U’m also applying ED and from a country where rarely more than 2 people apply for ED at Rice. And can you explain what the CDS is? I dont understand its importance. My predicted GPA on the other hand is 3.8 and considering that i have bit more of a difficult course, won’t Rice be considerate? And what if my GPA is increasing every year?
It is is a set of standardized questions that most universities answer. It has some interesting information about admissions. https://oir.rice.edu/Common_Data_Set/
