Nice stats.
I don't think there's any point in asking others to chance at this stage in the game (I'm also applying early decision.) I think we should just revise our apps for any errors and keep our fingers crossed.
Hope to be seeing both you and Smartone92 at Rice next year!

Hi snowolf. I'm a current Rice student. You definitely have an impressive resume. However, as dixiesilverjojo has pointed out, it is late in the game and properly analyzing your resume isn't going to help very much. Rice is becoming tougher and tougher to get into every year and many students have resumes that are impressive, like yours. My advice to you is to focus on your applications. A powerful essay will really boost your chances. Make sure you get your essay absolutely perfect. As for the supplement, it's a chance to show how much you love Rice as a school. I wish all of you the best and hope you guys get into Rice! Go future Owls!
