<p>Hey guys...i am applying RD for Rice and I am taking my SAT IIs this Saturday..the thing is..I dont know which SAT II test to take!! I applied to natural science and I already turned in my application so I really cant go back and change anything. On the rice site it said to take the subject in your field of study...I want to take the ecology and evolutionary biology class so that means that I should take a test in the science field. Those science tests are really hard and it took this guy three months to study for biology and he got a 700 something!!!..i dont have three months..i know..my fault :( I am also bad at math..well average at math and so i cant take any math subject test. I am good in the writing and literature field...I was planning on taking the writing, us. history, and literature test..but they are not really in my field of study. I am pretty sure I am going to score high on them because of my practice test...will it hurt me if i take them?</p>
<p>have you taken any SAT II's yet? Or is it ur first time taking them? i'm pretty sure that rice requires one sat ii math...</p>
<p>this is my first time but i know that rice requires writing</p>
<p>If you SAT scores through collegeboard, does that send SAT II's also?</p>
<p>Actually, I'm pretty sure that Rice doesn't require Math - only Writing.</p>
<p>And yes, boethian, if you send scores through the CB, they send all of your previous scores - both SAT's and SAT II's.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, if you applied to natural science you should be taking writing/math/science. If you are not comfortable with this combination, then you should definitely take either a math or a science, and then one that you know you will do good on.</p>
<p>Rice only requires Writing for the SAT II; at least this was the case when I applied.</p>
<p>It is still Writing (required) + 2. I applied for Humanities and took Math IIC and Latin as my two.</p>
<p>i think i am going to switch from natural sciences to humanities..even though i still have an interest in natural sciences (more like ecology and evolutionary biology)</p>
<p>have you taken or taking AP Chemistry? If so, take that test. I am in AP chemistry right now, and when i took the SAT II test on it, we were about 1/3 of the way done meaning that i knew 1/3 of the information on the test. I just used my PR AP Chem book to study for like 3 hours each day for 2 days before the test, and i got a decent score for not knowing anything......</p>
<p>I think I am going to talk physic because I already took that class..do yall think it will help? i am also thinking about taking us. history and writing...i really dont think i will get in and i think i should give up but something inside of me is telling me to keep going. It wont let me quit or something..oh gosh! what is wrong with me?</p>
<p>Also, I have my interview today. I was supposed to have it last week but my interviewer forgot..she said it was not put on her schedule but i was talking to her and she agreed..it was not like i was talking to her secretary..i was talking to her! And so last night i was thinking...maybe she saw my file and didnt think i would even show up at the interview because i am not good..maybe she thought i would not get in and so why waste her time with the interveiw...i mean....how could she forget when i was on the phone talking to HER and making the appointment with HER...yeah..so my chances at rice is zero..i guess i'll go through with the interview anyways..</p>
<p>wannabearicegirl: She probably just forgot! Don't read too much into it! and best of luck to you.</p>
<p>wannabearicegirl,</p>
<p>I am not fond of perpetuating the use colloquial expressions, but I will say this:</p>
<p>Chill.</p>
<p>Chill?? You dont understand..Rice is my dream school!! oh gosh!! I hate this...oh gosh!!! Kill me now! Oh gosh!!</p>
<p>You are imagining most of this. Don't you ever forget to write down an appointment? I do.Don't let your imagination run wild.</p>
<p>yeah but...i am on the ball...everything just seems to go against me..even my counselor didnt want me to apply to rice..what does that mean? my english teachers didnt even bother to check my essay even though i wrote months ahead and gave it to them..whats up with that?? Is this a sign from God telling rice is not for me...but i want to go to rice so bad..i even had dreams of attending rice!!!!! oh gosh!!! Well, applying RD will hopefully help me..they already have enough high-SAT students..they dont need anymore...let me in!! lol...crazy and sad at the same...oh gosh!</p>
<p>As people have said before, seriously owlgirl, don't worry. :) Sometimes when I'm really worried about something, things never go the way I want them to and it makes me feel like I'm cursed with bad luck. I'm sorry to hear about your english teacher and your counselor, but don't let this get to you and it's certainly not an indicator of whether or not you'll get into Rice. Calm down! =)</p>
<p>Owlgirl,</p>
<p>I always remember being told:</p>
<p>If you do not believe in it, it will not happen. </p>
<p>Believe in yourself.</p>
<p>thats nice..i feel like i really can do this...maybe i am just too stressed...i dont know...pray to God!!
My dream college...go RICE owls!!!!! woot woot!!
oh gosh!!</p>
<p>you can do it!!!!! Believe in yourself...</p>
