Out of state helps at Rice. They are definitely trying to be seen as less of a regional university and to attract students from as many different states and countries as possible. As to what you should write about in your essays, I would love to read an essay about why you decided to become the only female wrestler on the varsity team. But you’d better check with your high school counselor about the essay part. Your counselor, and maybe a trusted teacher or two, should help you focus and refine your essays, and they should be able to tell you what colleges would like to hear about and what will make you stand out. Good luck (and enjoy high school - it’s not all about getting into college, you know).
