Hey guys, I was wondering what my admission chances were at Rice University. It’s my dream school and pretty much the only school I want to go to. My resume is average but I want to get some reassurance and pointers from you guys to get some realistic expectations of what my chances are
Rank: 2
GPA: 3.82 (out of a 4.0)
EC: Band 4 years, Tennis (fall and spring) 3 years, NHS 3years, Baseball 4 years, Wrestling 2 years, no community service (I don’t have time haha)
SAT (NEW) 1250. Tragic
ACT 28
I have visited the campus and I have scheduled and interview and I’m also really nervous about that. So any pointers for that would be extremely helpful.
I recently turned in my application via common app, and I had like 10 people look it over including counselors and friends.
Thank you for reading
Are you white? I’d say your chances are extremely low because your scores and GPA are below the 25th percentile of students there. Your ECs are average.
No. low income family as well. I have a 4.2 weighted GPA but I thought they only counted unweighted.
Extremely low chances unless you’re an athlete.
Middle 50% is a 33-35. You’d need really powerful essays and supplements to have a chance.
High reach
Are you a URM? Being a low income URM will help, but the scores and GPA are still well below most of the people who get accepted.
