<p>The biggest problem I see is the ACT score, and since you’re unhooked you need to have pretty good credentials elsewhere. I would say that if you are still below 30 once you get your new ACT score then your chances are slim to none. If it’s 30 or 31 then you are still below the median so it’s still not good, but 25% of the students admitted are still in that range. 32+ would be ideal, the higher the better, especially since it seems like you don’t have a hook (unless OOS helps a lot, but as far as I know it’s only a small boost).</p>

<p>Other than getting the ACT up, the only thing I think you could do now that would help your app is to sign up for a rigorous senior year and do well, apply ED, and spend a lot of time on your application. Other than that I think it’s too late to change anything.</p>

<p>Also, what’s your class rank? Because your GPA seems low for Rice, but if that’s still good at your school then it’s fine.</p>
