Whatsup. Junior living in the state of Illinois attending a private, catholic, military academy that sends some kids to a few prestigious schools (we get a lot of kids that go to U of I). I’m looking at Rice and think that I have a fairly good shot at getting in, but then again I am kinda new to the whole system so any (ANY) input would be helpful and if anybody out there got into Rice, it would cool if you posted you’re SAT I, ACT, GPA, and any Subject Tests. My stats include:

Ranked 1/130 (for now, probably between 3-7 by senior year)
GPA: 3.84 unweighted, 4.74 weighted
SAT I: 2260 (690 CR, 800 M, 770 W)
ACT: 34 (35 M/S, 34 W, 32 R)
Subject Tests: Pending (Chem, Math II, US-H, Physics)

National Merit Commended Scholar
National Honor Society
Math Team
Science Olympiad
JROTC Battalion Logistics Specialist (my primary extra-c)
Leadership Bowl Team Captain
ACS Chemistry Olympiad
250+ hrs community service
Student Ambassador
Campus Ministry
Ping Pong Club
Big Brother Program
School Literary Fest Winner
Involved in stuff for disadvantaged in India (home country)

If anybody’s got any input I would SO appreciate it, thanks.
