<p>UW GPA? Scale for Weighted GPA?</p>

3

<p>you applied to 15 schools… really?</p>

4

<p>^Yeah, that’s truly excessive. Ok chances, but Asians are overrepresented at Rice (by a lot) so they may be very critical of you. Your SATs may be a tad low for that situation.</p>

5

<p>haha true, i got into a safety already, just wanted to get into a better school like rice. You guys think i got a shot?</p>

6

<p>Too many schools, take it easy.</p>

7

<p>slight reach to reach at all.</p>

8

<p>If you’ve already applied, then what does it matter? Either you get in or you don’t. Stop worrying about it until April.</p>

<p>great advice NYSkins!</p>

<p>Seriously, what’s the point? I understand your anxiety and curiosity; i’m going through the same thing, but i think you are torturing yourself with this. </p>

<p>Why do you care if other ppl on a website think you can get in or not? Who says their judgment is better than yours? They base their guesses on things you’ve probably read already and their own interpretations. </p>

<p>The only opinion that matters is the one RICE makes. In April. Yes it sucks to wait so long, but in the meantime stop stressing, it’s all over and done with anyway. Iust enjoy your senior year. And good luck.</p>
