Coming from a Fortune 10 tech giant and gaining two promotions to boot in a relatively short term puts you in a very good place for an admit decision at Rice.

Do get to know the admissions folks at Rice and make sure they get to know you. Attend their virtual chats and other conferences where they are in attendance. That will be an important part of a successful application there. Good luck.
