<p>My SAT Score is </p>
<p>Math: 650
Reading: 630
Writing: 680</p>
<p>Is there any hope for me for Rice? :(</p>
<p>Hell yeah!
My alumni interviewer got in with a F in calculus because he boycotted his math class. (he got the principal to claim that he’s smart and the grade was because of his dislike for the teacher)
If your grades are solid and you took tough classes then they’ll see that you’re an intellectual. If your grades aren’t, then demonstrate your intellect in your essays while also displaying who you are outside of academics.</p>
<p>Best of luck and peace be with you,

<p>You’ve just shared one piece of the pie: your SAT scores. I’m sure you have a much bigger story for Admissions – your classes, interests, activities, etc. Not to mention your love for music … let your essays sing!</p>
<p>The only people who can say no are the admission folk. You should apply. They look at a lot more than SAT scores.</p>
