<p>do you think i can get into Rice? I really want to go, but i'm not outstanding like most people out there :| well at least on this website</p>
<p>Asian Female
REALLY competitive HS in CA</p>
<p>unweighted gpa= 3.7 (i had a really bad GPA in freshman year then i improved each year and had a 4.0 both semesters last year yay)
weighted GPA= i think 3.9</p>
<p>SAT1 (2160)
math=740
CR=640
writing=780
i retook it october and i think i did pretty well</p>
<p>planning on taking ap calc bc, ap physics, ap english lit this may</p>
<p>ECs- marching band for 4 years, have been playing clarinet for 9 years and completed level 10(highest level) for certificate of merit, 4 years on swim team, went to COSMOS this summer and did research on global warming. i think i'm going to write my personal statement on that.</p>
<p>i REALLY want to go to rice and i got an interview there already</p>
<p>The additional students will be phased on over several years so don't anyone think there will be 700 additional students on campus next year. </p>
<p>I wish Rice would wait until they have enough on campus housing before they keep adding students. They are adding a couple of new dorms but still Rice doesn't guarantee housing all 4 years.</p>
<p>We almost have the same application..lol. I just have a slightly better scores, but everything else is pretty much the same. I was in marching band, clarinet too!</p>
<p>yeah they aren't immediately increasing the class size by 700, their slowly going to increase it and try to get the undergraduate "size" to around 3,500- even after this increase they will be the smallest comprehensive research university in the US.</p>
<p>phade: i just looked at your profile and your ECs are really good!
i hate my extracurriculars, i wish i had been more ambitious and i wish i didn't screw up my freshman year GPA. oh well. its too late now. and thanks you guys have really boosted my self-esteem. on mychances.net it said that i have a 30% chance of getting in lol :(</p>
<p>Yellowwoman: They aren't that great, really. I've got some awards/honors that I'm pretty proud of but my EC's themselves aren't very strong, at least I don't think they are.</p>
<p>hey just wondering, but should i be happy or sad that i got a 2290 on my SAT (2360 superscore yay) but i have a C in ap physics, b in ap english, and maybe a b in band cause i forgot to turn in my practice sheet LOL :[ and i have to send in a quarter report for early decision.</p>
<p>Yes you should be a little concerned, first quarter grades are used for admission and colleges really seem to not like a downward trend (which I imagine a C and multiple b's is).</p>
