I was looking into getting into Rice U for mechanical engineering. Right now my score for SAT was a 1080, I hadnt studied at all. I'm tryna get national merit with a 1500. I'm in the IB program which I don't know if it affects my studying at all. Currently a sophomore aswell. Is there any program or plan I should follow. I've looked at the plans and been wondering what I should follow to improve my score.
