You should always bother to apply at Rice if you want to go here, regardless of your chances. I'm personally opposed to chances threads, so I'm not going to merit it with any response other than that.

Rice does not accept international transfer students in the spring semester. But I don't know if that applies to foreign students currently attending US schools..

You're not going to lose anything if you apply. I thought I had a 1% chance of getting in, and a few weeks later, I got an acceptance letter...
