<p>anyone have any idea how many apps were received this year by rice? was it more or less than last year? thanks ahead of time</p>
<p>I think it was around 8,800.</p>
<p>ok cool. i wonder if they still accepted around 1800 like they have done for the past years</p>
<p>i called--they had a little over 8,700 apps but did not accept more students, so still only around 1800. their acceptance rate decreased</p>
<p>yeah. i guess it was 20 or 21%</p>
