<p>Grade 10 [ CBSE Board Exam ] - 78 %</p>

<p>Grade 11 [ I know this is too low , but I just screwed up] - 59 %</p>

<p>Grade 12 - I am in grade 12 now</p>

<p>SAT 1 - 2030
Maths - 700
CR - 700
CW - 630</p>

<p>E.C.'s - School teams - Table Tennis , Soccer , and Swimming.[2 Years]
2) All other are average and some are just participation certificates</p>

<p>3) I am not applying for financial aid </p>

<p>I Plan to do Mechanical Engineering</p>

<p>Chance me For Rice </p>

<p>How do i make my application stronger ?</p>

<p>Please Help me out ..</p>

<p>dude… forget it. i got in to rice after doing CBSE for my final 2 years… I had a considerably higher average and ranked 1 or 2 in the class</p>

<p>lik seriously, a 59% - you cannot get in to Rice with that. This year I know people with 80% and 90% and better SAT’s get rejected</p>

<p>I dont know what CBSE is but if grades that low, I highly doubt that you would get into Rice, nor any other top school for that matter. No matter how hard you try, academics come first and surely you are weak there. Where I’m from a 70% is barely passing</p>

<p>CBSE is an indian education system syllabus.</p>

<p>Still a 70% is bad and a 59% is terrible.</p>
