<p>Thanks to all of you for the help!
kaekae - Haha yeah, I don’t really have any unusual or unheard-of EC’s. I guess it’ll have to do. I’m a good writer though, as my SAT writing score shows, so I think they essays will help considerably.
computergeek173 - Thanks. This is a big relief haha. I didn’t consider Rice a safety, rather a good fit. I’m also applying to Yale, Brown, Stanford, and my state flagship school as a safety. But to be honest, I’m most likely going to get turned down by all schools but my state flagship and Rice, so Rice will probably be my school of choice.</p>
<p>Thanks again, everyone!</p>
