<p>I have mailed Rice two of my research papers. One is in biomedicine and one is in Mathematics. I am interested in biomechanical engineering.</p>

<p>The bio one is actually accepted for publishing in an international journal and I worked on it in MD Anderson (#1 Cancer center)</p>

<p>The other one is totally independent research. I found some flaws in the cartesian system and differential equations and devised a whole new chapter for mathematics (theory of vector curvatures). I designed a whole new plane which looks at each curve uniquely by transforming complicated curves into their equivalents.</p>

<p>Along with these, I have done a lot of research in physics and am working on a paper right now.</p>

<p>Do you think these will help my application by showing them how interested I am in math and science? I also have perfect SATII scores in math II and physics and perfect grades in AP Physics, IB higher level Math, AP Calc BC. etc. 4.0 unweighted GPA. I have only been i the US for 2.5 yrs. I came from in India; I did my 9th grade there and won a lot of national awards in 9th for math and science. My class rank was messed up a little because of the discrepancy of grades between here and India, but I still am in the top 5% of my class.
I got a recommendation from my research mentor (the Bio one).</p>

<p>I really really want to get into Rice. I am an international applicant but I am NOT applying for financial aid. Does Rice actually evaluate those papers I send in? Because I wish they really read my Math one, since I put a lot of effort into it (and it is something profound, in my opinion at least). Do you think I have a chance?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>rawr...someone?</p>

3

<p>from what i know.. they dont have a biomechanical engineering major. i think its called bioengineering</p>

4

<p>I know.</p>

<p>I will go into mechanical engineering, and also research at Rice's Computational and Experimental Biomechanics Laboratory headed by Dr. Liebschner.</p>

<p>Hmmm this exact post was in the Duke Forum only "I really really want to get into Rice" is replaced by Duke... which one do you actually REALLY REALLY want to get into</p>

6

<p>yeah cause their some people on the Rice forum that REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna go to Rice</p>

7

<p>i saw this one in the MIT forums too....</p>

8

<p>well obviously I want to go to all of these (and applied to these places too)</p>

<p>I think one can really want to go to many universities as long as his/her aims are consistent. And, mine are. All of these schools have really great engineering departments (my area of interest). I am not contradicting anything I said on the other forums. I really really want to go to all of these institutions.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>bumppppppppp......</p>

<p>High reach</p>

<p>The admissions staff does not want to see your research papers. They may start to scan over it before they realize what it is and they will be ticked that you didn't follow directions - so it will only tend to work against you in the case.</p>

<p>I think you have an excellent chance at getting accepted at all the schools you are applying to. (But I really dislike chances threads... )</p>

<p>thank you :)</p>
