Your GPA is a bit on a lower scale but I guess mostly it comes from your freshman year. Personally, I think your freshman year MIGHT harm your chances (I say might because Rice likes an upward grade curve, plus, your junior grades are almost perfect) since an F is still unacceptable of a school at such caliber. I love how you found so many things, which is really cool, but I feel like with almost all the extracurriculars under 2 years, it might not show as much dedication or perseverance for some of them (that’s not that big of a deal though, just saying).
Your SAT is perfectly fine, your AP scores are up to standard. I think you have a shot at Rice, but I don’t know if it would be that likely because of your freshman year (I know that you’ve changed but it’s still part of the records )
Try to write awesome personal statements and answer all of Rice’s supplements wholeheartedly. Spend your time on it. The essay is a crucial component of your app that can turn you from uncertainty to acceptance.
