<p>I am a hispanic junior at a public, florida high school. I really want to go to rice university but I know my SAT score is lower than the average so I don't know what my chances are.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.9(unweighted)
SAT: 690CR 640M 660W (I'm only a junior and I believe I can get it to at least a 2100/2200)
Course Load: I have taken 11 courses and will be taking at least 4 more next year
Class rank: 1/about 700
Extra Curriculars(just a few): MAO(math club), Phi Beta Chi(science club), soccer every year, and I am president of 2 other smaller clubs. I have over 300 hours of volunteering and have an internship at a psychiatrist's office.</p>
<p>So what are my chances?</p>
<p>Oh and I also scored a 790 on my Bio-E SAT 2</p>
<p>Get that SAT up and you’ll be fine</p>
<p>I would agree with TheKongo. Ivy Leagues (top notch) schools receive a high number of applications from excellent students, so it becomes imperative that you 1) have a high SAT score, 2) high SAT II scores, and 3) a high GPA. Once they glance over these aspects, they can automatically weed out the application with an SAT less than what they know another application will have higher of, while still presenting the same prospects: a degree in English, aspirations to be a lawyer, or whatever the case may be. My point is, be the best YOU and present yourself in as a package that reads: YOU WANT ME to the college you are applying to, be it Rice or your community college or Harvard. You seem smart and with it, just keep it up, keep your grades, up and get your SATs up.</p>
