Hey, I goto rice...and I think you've got a pretty darn good chance. Im guessing you will do very well on your SAT II writing - to compliment your near perfect test scores. The only thing that isn't perfect is your GPA (which isn't too bad either). However, from what I hear, Rice has been known to reject some excellent applicants. Off setting that, its pretty well known the ED is the way to go if you want to goto Rice...

Go Owls!!!
