Bad Freshman year @ ND want to transfer to Rice

<p>So I am currently a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame, but looking to transfer to Rice University. I got waitlisted to Rice as a senior in high school, and ended up here at Notre Dame. I had a horrible freshman year... HORRIBLE, but last semester's GPA was a 3.6 . But my cumulative is nowhere near that. I asked a Rice transfer admissions counselor about this and she said that one semester of solid work was enough to apply, but I wanted to hear and see if anyone has transferred to Rice with this type of situation? And if they had any advice for me as I apply to transfer?</p>

<p>Thanks, hope to hear from you guys!</p>

<p>Anyone heard of this type of situation ending with an admission?</p>
