<p>I am a Texas senior in the top 6% of my class (31 out of 617) (at midyear i will be in the top 5. I got a 32(34m/e, 32cr,27sc) act and 2180 (760m,670r,750w) sat. I am awaiting NM notification but probably got commended. I was in NHS for 2 years, young republicans for 2(though I don't identify with the movement any more). I competed in academic competition in current issues last year and will compete in science this year. I have 30 hours or so of community service mostly helping plant at the school. I played subvarsity basketball for 2 years before quitting to get a job. I worked at a grocery store for a year. I was involved in debate for a year. I am a teacher's aide for my physics teacher. I am taking the most rigorous schedule possible 5 aps and a dual credit class. I have taken hard classes in all my previous years too. All this being said, do you think I will get into Rice? I plan on applying for chemical and electrical engineering.</p>
