<p>Is it better to apply at rice right after you get out of high school or a a year or two later after taking some courses at a community college? Does it affect your chances in any manner? </p>
<p>I would strongly suggest after high school. They do not accept many transfer students. </p>
<p>I attended a college fair at UTPA & approached a Rice rep regarding a transfer. I was treated very rudely & was not even given the information I requested from them. I was simply ignored.</p>
<p>Definitely as a freshman. Unless your grades aren’t up to par - in that case, CC would help if you do well.</p>
