Rice is a reach school and your unweighted GPA is a little on the low end for Rice. Did you have an upward trend? Also, you don’t list your rigor (how many AP’s & Honors classes.) Since you love it you might as well shoot your shot and apply ED1 to best improve your chances. Just make sure you’ve checked the NPC and can afford it. Also, if you get denied Emory and Vanderbilt both have ED2. (They are both reaches also though.) WashU is another one to look at with a similar vibe to Rice and Emory.
