<p>We'll say what we say every year :-). If you really want to go to Rice than apply. None of us really have any idea what will spark admissions' interest in your exp. Passion is probably one of the the key items. So go for it!</p>

<p>I would say a little bit of a reach right now. That 660 CR for an outstanding IB program looks a little low but could do the job, ditto SAT IIs, try to get at least one high 700s score. The ECs shown are basic, some applicants will have much more.</p>
