Hm. Firstly, definitely not overqualified. Which AP Tests have you taken, and what did you get on them?

IMO, you should definitely retake the SAT. Writing scores, while they do add onto your composite score, are definitely not considered in as high regard as math and reading scores. In fact, many universities disregard the writing score all together. You definitely want an above 700 CR score, even if it means dropping your writing scores. Rice requires all scores, so they will see that you have the capability to score perfect, so it should be fine. How many times have you taken the SAT previously?

Edit:
Also, you’re only just taking pre-cal? Maybe its just the math program at your school, but at my old school (which is not very good at all) high achieving kids usually finished calculus by the time they hit senior year. It shouldn’t be a problem if you’re not behind in the context of your own school program, however.
