It looks like you have a really strong profile and unique extracurriculars! You seem to have a competitive application. A lot of your extracurriculars center around media and the arts, so I would really focus on this and show off your passion in your application. Rice likes to get a sense of who students are and where they really make an impact, so definitely focus on depth of involvement in these activities and talk about why they’re important to you. Overall, try to paint a comprehensive picture of who you are and what you would contribute to the school through these skills and interests.

Hope that helps!
