<p>Does anybody know the overall Admit rate this year/anything extra?</p>
<p>seemed to admit more maybe? they are increasing their class size by 30 people or so...plus they got rid of ID this year. I'd say maybe mid 20s.</p>
<p>anybody else have an idea?</p>
<p>Well my waitlist e-mail said 775 spots for 9800 applicants..... that's approximately 8%..... which seems way too low</p>
<p>9800 students applied and Rice accepted about 2300 (~24%). The 775 spots are what Rice atticapates as the numbers of students who will actually come.</p>
<p>But remember they accept more than 775... because their yield isn't 100%. So I think they accept more than 775 (enough that about 775 of the ones accepted would actually attend) and then they pick a few people from the waitlist to fill in the leftover spots. </p>
<p>I <em>think</em> that's how they do it, anyway.</p>
