Colleges & Universities A-Z Rice University

<p>i wanna know how much chances do i have of getting into rice....as i m an international applicant and don know abt selection procedures..
my SAT was 1970.... math:760, critical reading:600, writing:610
i heard that fr international applicants admission officers don give much attention to critical reading scores as english iz nt their mother tongue...is that true??
My subject tests scores r math level 2:800, physics:780, chemistry:750
I m doing advanced levels certified by the cambridge international examinations..
My AS level grades were,
Maths:100% A(if i get a 100% on my A2 aswell i will get a top in world distinction)
Chemistry:97% A
Physics:97% A
Biology: 96%
I m also taking economics just to aquaint myself with the subject content....will not give the exam though......
My ordinary level grades were:
Physics:97% A
Biology:96% A
chemistry:96% A
maths:96% A
English Language:96% A
geography and history:95% A
islamiyat:95%
Urdu:97%</p>

<p>incase u people are wondering abt the breadth of course selection.......A levels r supposed to be cleared just by takin three subjects...and in america calculucs and probability etc etc is separate but in A levels all these r included in one particular major related subject...
my class rank iz 1 in abt 50 seniors..i live at sialkot(search google.....!! its a veeery small city in north-east pakistan)..I m attending a school which is a branch of a chain that has also gone international now(inaugurated in 1978)...I m the head boy of school and involved in a lot of other activities as directing the annual school play....and editing of the school magazine...i started enviornmental protection club...etc etc...and i annual collect funds for sos village.....well i know these activities r nt at all comparable to people in USA..but i uptook any avaliable oppurtunity..
i also did community service at local hospital.....
..also tell me that in which university do i have the greatest chance,,,

<p>Rice won’t let internationals in Rice because they are international. They let them in because they know that they will be able to survive the classes.</p>

<p>well I have heard that Rice is looking for more international students this year…your specs look good (you must had hard time with sending transcripts)</p>

<p>well you want all the transcripts in…so you need to check with the schools…rice will be fairly slow even if you call em (least it was for me)</p>

<p>If the office says that they have received your transcripts then you are fine. The status page will get updated later.</p>
