I actually have a REAL problem (average student)

Applying to College
1

<p>SAT-1770 M-570 CR-550 WR-580
Rank-140/500 (28%) GPA-3.7
my tanscript has maybe about 3 c’s but all from pre-ap and AP courses</p>

<p>with that being said you can tell that my academic record is not that strong but i really want(ed) to go to Rice. but they require 2 subject test. and i was going to take chemistry and math (I) in about 3 weeks but i took pre-ap chemistry 2 years ago and have taken less than a semester of AP chem. and i have a feeling that im not going to be prepared enough to gain a score that will enhance my credentials</p>

<p>my question should i take the subject tests and pray for the best OR should i take another reasoning test and try and get a good sat score and forget about rice?</p>

<p>fyi- my coach told me i should be able to get my college paid for, and i already recieved a questionnaire from rice.
also i want to go to medical school (i know youre thinking she to dumb to make it that far but that’s besides the point) so i need a school that will push me academically the farthest</p>

<p>oh yeah im a senior</p>

<p>you only apply to college once (normally) so i say go for it. Take the SAT II’s since Rice requires them and study your butt off.</p>

<p>take the SAT II’s
get a review book and start preparing for what is going to be on the test. </p>

<p>just remember: you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. you never know how well you might do on them. just prepare yourself to the best of your ability and hope for the best.</p>

<p>why don’t u think about some other premed schools ?</p>

6

<p>Make sure you apply to some colleges that you know you can afford and that your scores are in their top 25%. That’s the best way of ensuring that you can go to college next year. Rice is a longshot. Have some sure bets.</p>

<p>Why don’t you just take the ACT?</p>
