<p>yes the new stats for rice were posted in the rice thresher...rice admitted 32% of the class from texas...and the overall admissions rate was 22%. thirty two percent of twenty two gives you around a seven percent admission rate for texas.</p>
<p>wow, lot of baseless princeton bashing on this thread. to the OP: visit all three schools if you can. it's the only way to go.</p>

<p>Thank you! Finally... some sense.</p>
<p>Princeton or Cornell.</p>
<p>your definition of baseless...is so limited...just because its not based on stats doesnt mean they are baseless...stats are a bunch of bullcrap and so are rankings. visit the schools and form ur own ideas. my experiences are based from when i visited princeton.</p>

<p>That's not correct. You can't simply multiply the percentages. 32% of the class are from Texas. Suppose the admitted class size is 1000, then 320 are from Texas. Since the overall admission rate is 22%, we know the total number of applicants is (1000/0.22) = 4545. Now, how many of those 4545 applicants are from Texas? We can't tell from the percentages you gave. Since we can't tell how many applicants are from Texas, we don't know the admission rate for Texas students despite the fact we know that 320 of those Texas applicants got accepted.</p>
<p>Maybe someone can give us more information.</p>
<p>i was gonna post somethin similar but gold beat me:rolleyes:</p>
<p>I believe the in state admit rate was around 17%, while OOS was 38%, in 2004. (These are the numbers from the back of my head, could be a bit off).</p>
<p>Rice's acceptance rate is 2.7% lower than Cornell's, so, considering Cornell's size, I would say the difference in acceptance rate is trivial. Also, you should consider that Cornell has several colleges which vary in selectivity- the CAS acceptance rate is probably around 20-21%. And really, who cares?</p>
<p>Definitely go with Cornell or Princeton: equal or better education than rice, much more international prestige, and as a previous post showed, better for your interests. </p>
<p>Cornell is so beautiful. Princeton is...Princeton. Rice is food.</p>
<p>well go to the rice thresher and go to news and they have the article there with the stats for the entering class</p>
<p>that data was collected by the combine harvester...</p>
<p>now, this is getting dumb...</p>

<p>Oops :S... I thought you were joking... and I replied with that thought.. :D</p>
<p>Any idea what the admit rate was this year for in-state ED applicants?</p>
<p>i think they will release that later</p>
