Summer Activities:
Essays (rating 1-10, details): Really good, 8-9/10. Wrote a detailed essay about the Oregon Trail (the videogame) and tied it back to my application.
Recommendations (rating 1-10, details):

Teacher Rec #1: From CS teacher/ qb coach. 8/10, I asked him for a good letter and he pretty much delivered.
Teacher Rec #2: From AP Lang teacher. 10/10. I didn’t ask for much of anything specific, but the letter was glowing and encompassed my personality pretty well.
Counselor Rec: Black box. My counselor and I barely speak, and I have no clue what was in the letter.
Additional Rec: None
Interview: None, applied too late :confused:

Reflection

Strengths: Essays
Weaknesses: Not really sure. Maybe ECs or test scores?
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Don’t know. I have no idea how good a waitlist is for Rice, and I don’t really know what got me there. I’m going to send in a LOCI and hope for the best, because I’d really like to attend.
