<p>I know Rice University is a private school, but I heard from somebody that it's easier to get into out of state because, right now, its basically half people from Texas, and they know accepting more New York (where I'm from) and New Englanders will help them get more recognition. </p>
<p>So can anybody tell me if this is true? Or if its just true for ed or just for rd?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
