<p>I'm horrible. I decided to apply to Rice today, but I know practically nothing about it. I know it has good science, exceptional music, and above-par other fields I'm not going into myself. Is it really difficult to get into? Like HYPS difficult? I won't bug anyone with my stats, but suze said I'm reasonably competative for HYP and suze never says that unless you have her in a headlock (sorry, suze, you're just too darned honest). Does that mean I have a shot at Rice as well? Or is it totally different criteria?</p>
<p>You can really get this information from looking at a college guide or even encarta. Rice isn't HYPS difficult, as you can see by admission rates. I don't know who suze is, or even if she even exists, but assuming you have a shot at HYP, why wouldn't you have a shot at any school in the country? Sorry for sounding harsh, maybe I am missing something?</p>
<p>sounds like a joke to me.</p>
