Thank you so much for any advice!
I think you definitely have the numbers to stand out. You’re well balanced and have excellent test scores that would give admissions a long look at you. That being said, it’s hard to guarantee anything for top schools, which I’m sure you know, so definitely have some backup schools in mind. And show interest, because that goes a long and sometimes overlooked way in the admissions process.
Also keep in mind that Rice does not have an undergraduate business program (other than a minor), so you would have to study economics or something related if you wanted to go down that route.
