Even a faint chance at Rice?

<p>If I don’t improve my SAT score or I don’t reach my goal of 2100 on the october SAT, then should I maybe apply to Boston College or Wake Forest instead where I’ll have a better shot? I mean I know I have a solid GPA and my school profile would show that I’m comfortably in the top 10% of my class, but would it still be a waste if I can’t improve my SAT score by much?</p>

<p>BTW, I listed BC and Wake Forest because those are the other 2 schools I’d apply to if applying to Rice seems unreasonable.</p>
