That’s very kind of you. I’ve struggled tremendously with putting out a new video lately but your comment means a lot to me! Sooner or later I’ll get back to it.

Do you think it’d be harder for students who’ve taken a lot of science courses to transfer? Ik that science degrees tend to be more harder so idk if Rice might take that to account when they look at their GPAs if it were to be a little lower

Sorry for the super late reply--science courses are probably more transferrable, if anything, so long as you took them at an accredited institution. For best results make sure the syllabi of courses you're thinking of taking are similar to syllabi of classes you want credit for at your future institution.

“The kitchen burnt down and flooded... at the same timeee” I’m so sorry but that is a bit funny! & to be on topic, I have a 3.94 from a community college. My extracurriculars are mainly state/world recognitions for sports and community involvement. I got an internship at Rice but could not fullfill due to COVID. So my extracurriculars are not as academically oriented as I feel they should be. My last concern has to do with the supplemental essays. I’m not the best writer, in terms of grammar. 😂🤦‍♀️ would you suggest me to run my essays through tutoring sites or does something like grammar not play a pivotal part?🥺👉👈(sorry for the long comment)

Hello! I think at this point it’s probably best not to worry about your extracurricular activities-you’ve got what you’ve got (and what you’ve got sounds like it’s pretty impressive). About grammar and things-I think that having a strong grasp on grammar and conventions is probably an important thing to show in your Rice essays. People I’ve talked to seem to have good luck checking their essays with grammarly premium? I haven’t had a chance to use it myself though.

Is it difficult to enter Rice by 3.85 GPA? What is important to be accepted? I am in Tennessee Tech University now.

A 3.85 should be high enough to be admitted. The *most* important things for being accepted are extracurricular activities and essays, though. GPA is almost just a prerequisite.

@@chumerranion778 thank you so much.

Applying for transfer currently a sophomore, would it be wise for me to retake the SAT or would that be pointless?

What is your current score and where are you thinking of applying? Generally speaking if your college GPA is high (3.7+) and you're applying for Junior year then test scores are not super important. You may be required to send your old score reports though (this will vary school by school), in which case you might feel some pressure to replace a score well below your prospective school's median.

how many and what types of extracurricular do u recommend?

Quality over quantity applies, but some kind of honors society/affinity group and some kind of scholarly pursuit, like research, would be a strong start (that is, two things).

Is it harder to transfer if you are out of state ?

To Rice? It depends. If you’re applying from a community college then Rice seems to prefer applicants from in/around houston. If you’re applying from a 4-year then there’s no difference as far as I know.

I’m very interested in transferring to rice. I’m most worried that my extracurriculars are lacking and was wondering if you could tell me what yours were for reference. I would also be extremely grateful if you could give me a social media handle or some other way to contact you outside of youtube for more help. Thank you so much it would mean a lot.
