Also, if possible can you tell my my chances at other good private and public uni' in percentages. I deeply regret my long post and thank you for reading it.

Wow I've read a million posts and I have no idea how to evaluate your stats. Is there any international college conseling available to you locally?. Have other students from your school gone to Rice? I wonder if anyone had heard of a private college counselor with experience in whatever part of the world you are from. Well one possibility is to start by calling Rice and asking for the person who is respsible for international admissions. That person may at least be able to tell you if you are competitive in the pool.
