<p>Rice is my dream school! Please chance/advise me.</p>
<p>GPA 3.83/4 - Top public school in MA (not ranked, but somewhere in top 10%)
SAT CR 660 M 800 W 760 (one sitting)
SATII Math 2C (780) Chem (730) USH (720)
AP Physics B (5) USHistory (5) Calculus AB (5) - All junior year</p>
<p>My school sends quite a few to ivy leagues but rarely any to Rice (only because kids don't apply... I love Texas so I'm applying!!)</p>
<p>Please chance me.</p>
<p>Should bother retaking SAT to raise Critical Reading?</p>
<p>What's the most important factor in Rice admission?</p>
<p>I'm interested in Economics/Finance.</p>

<p>I would say you have a good chance. I am applying to Rice as well (ED). Interesting that so many students from your school go to Ivies but not to Rice. Rice is an amazing school!</p>
<p>Rice consistently emphasizes its holistic admissions process. Admissions staff never really answer questions like yours! They seem to just evaluate what is on the application. Still, Rice has a reputation as a math/science school. Economics is quite popular.</p>
<p>I wish you the best!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Good luck to you as well. I am applying regular decision.</p>
<p>Yea, kids in my school are strange haha… They don’t like to go to schools in the south, I guess. I personally would love to be in Houston!</p>
<p>I am also applying to Rice, but my parents wont let me apply ED. My scores & GPA are a little lower than yours, but I have hope! Good luck!</p>
<p>You have a very good chance. I think its a Low Match. However, the ED may bump you up.</p>
