Why are you asking about applying to Rice in a Harvey Mudd forum?

atomicfusion

You probably shouldn't bother to apply to Rice if you can't even post in the correct forum.

Ya, read what I wrote in your Cornell chances thread (of the same title)

First of all, that was pretty rude atomicfusion. The OP might have just copied and pasted and forgotten to replace Rice with Harvey Mudd. No need to be so abrasive.

That said, chronic you should definitely bother applying to Harvey Mudd, Rice, Cornell, wherever it is you want to apply to. Your SAT scores definitely put you in the ballpark, but I do warn you that your grades are going to pull back your chances.

atomicfusion

I understand copy/pasting a post, but come on. Copy/pasting a thread title? If someone wants us to take the effort to look through their stats and tell them their chances then they can at least write a correct thread title. Also the OP already did this for Cornell also.

atomic- give the OP some slack.
