Acceptance Rate?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rice University

<p>Per the 2013 statistics, Rice admitted 322 out of 1298 applicants via ED or 25% and 2260 out of 14117 RD or 16%. Does anyone know how many of the 322 admitted students via ED were athletes? For example if @110 athletes were accepted via ED then the ED adjusted rate without athletes is 16% which is the same as RD. </p>

<p>Yale admissions mentioned that their ED admittance rate was the same as RD if you back out the athletes that were admitted in ED. </p>

<p>So is this also true for Rice (that admittance rate is the same for ED and RD)? Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m actually wondering if this is true for most ivy leagues and/or really good schools like Rice. Could someone answer this question? lol</p>

<p>Yea, it pretty much is the same once you subtract legacies and athletes.</p>

4

<p>Then it seems there is no point in applying ED.</p>

5

<p>Unless its your number one choice…</p>

6

<p>It is not all legacies and athletes. Where did this rumor get started? If Rice is your first choice then applying ED is a smart move.</p>

<p>136</p>

<p>(It would need to be 136 ED athletes at 100%, not 110, to bring the residual ED acceptance rate down to 16%, assuming the other numbers are correct as posted)</p>
