<p>I'm a rising senior at Harker (bay area private highschool), and as a side note we do not have ranks. I am half white (american) and half indian (from asia). I probably also will apply for financial aid. I have not visitied Rice yet (don't worry, I will visit before I definitely decide I want to apply ED there), but I have spent a lot of time researching it. I am also interested in U Mich and UT Austin. </p>
<p>Languages - Japanese, semi-proficient (studied at school for around 7 years, will not take AP course). </p>
<p>Interests: I would really like to double major in engineering and sports management (Rice is among the few schools that offer both). Sports are a passion of mine, but I cannot play, thanks to an injury in my shoulder, but I am still involved in the programs at my school (Announcer for home football/baseball/softball games). </p>
<p>Grades (on a 5 weighted scale):
Freshman 3.6
Sophomore 3.9
Junior 4.16
cumulative is about a 3.8 (will be higher by the time I graduate, I sort of just screwed around frosh year)
Besides freshman year, pretty much all A's in my classes, except for Japanese/English (B to B+). </p>
<p>SAT: 2250 (750/770/730)
ACT: 33
SAT Math 2 - 800
SAT Chem - 710</p>
<p>AP Classes taken - AP CS A (5) AP Calc AB (5) (I took honors chem/physics/bio)
Course load Senior year - AP physics C, 2 post-ap cs classes, honors calc c, ap psychology, non-ap english, Contemporary Japan (japanese culture class, non-ap)</p>
