Rice with a 3.6? Realistic?

I’m trying to determine whether Rice is a realistic school to apply to.
Everyone accepted seems to have had a 4.0 or 3.9

Stats

3.6 GPA from a top25-30 HS with as many AP’s/difficult course as possible (not a justification, but context)

2340 SAT
AP Scholar with Distinction/AP Tests aren’t bad.

Grades aren’t so hot, did well for the most part, but there is a C or two (junior year) making the GPA trend downward slightly.
School doesn’t rank.

EC’s are excellent/cool.

So… reasonable?
