<p>So, I want to go to Rice REALLY bad...All of my friends are applying...and I get told practically 20 times a day that I need to apply. My parents and my whole family are dying for me to apply...but I feel like it's pointless...you see...I'm smart, but I'm a HUGE procrastinator, HUGE....not with my college education (I have a 4.0 with a semester of college credit), but with my high school education. It's all my fault, I know. :( And it's kicking me in the butt now. I'm smart enough to have a 3.8+ GPA, but I just don't put that much effort in my classes...but anyways, here are my horrible stats.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.5 UW, 4.3 W
Rank: Top 25%...but I do attend a really smart magnet school if that helps.
SAT Bio: 690 (with 4 days of studying...I would retake if I had more time)
ACT: 27 (first attempt with no studying at all. I'm actually studying now and I'm averaging a 31-32 on practice test. I take the real exam tomorrow)
EC's: Good. I have a lot of Clinical and Internship experience in the Medical ICU and ER. And I'm also graduating a year early. I made the decision two months ago...which is why I don't have much time to raise my test scores or GPA. :(</p>
<p>I feel like it's pointless for me to apply...I have an aunt who used to be on the admissions board of Rice and she told me what the school wanted from a student, and that it's possible to get in with lower stats if you show them what they want to see. If you show that you are passionate and want to do something great in life then you will have a fighting chance...but I don't think so. I think she was just trying to make me feel better. But anyways (you can be blunt, please)...what are my chances?</p>
