<p>Your stats put you in range to get in. None of us can accurately determine your chances of admission though. Apply!</p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>

<p>Are you Chinese? If so, that Chinese subject test means little…</p>

<p>I have a couple friends here at Rice who came from TAMS, actually. Your subject tests are fine, I think. Your stats are strong, so it’ll be the subjective aspects that determine whether or not you are accepted, and unfortunately we cannot give you accurate information regarding those aspects since we are not admissions officers. Good luck!</p>
