Chance a Senior for Rice ED I + other colleges: 3.83 GPA, 1500 SAT Superscore, TX Resident, Math (top 2% class rank)

Yes, I ran the NPC and am fine with the result. However, I think Rice is need-blind for domestic applicants with their admissions, according to their own website. So theoretically, need isn’t much of a factor here. However, under my NPC, it covered full tuition under the Rice Investment and then some. Wouldn’t financial need not matter as much if Rice was need-blind in admissions?

Also by that “may”, are you implying that I would have a noticeable shot at acceptance in the ED I round?
