<p>these statistics are demoralizing. </p>

<p>268 admitted out 892 with act scores of 31-33. And these stats include ed, so its even tougher rd.</p>

<p>wow :(.
i hope with the building of McMurty and Duncan that they will somehow expand class size</p>

<p>They will. :) relax and smile. It'll work out.</p>

<p>rice admin person told me it wouldn't.</p>

<p>but who knows, rice wants geographic diversity, and if the majority of the texas applicants are underqualified, it will be easier.</p>

<p>if the majority of the texas applicants are overqualified, it will be harder</p>
