Question about Rice Admissions for Schools and Majors

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rice University

<p>So as I understand, at Rice you can change your major/school anytime because you only really declare it in sophomore year. So, besides music and architecture, is any school/major really harder to apply to? Like at UCLA your chances decrease greatly if you apply to the engineering school. Would my chances of admission change if I apply to certain schools? Dose Rice admit students by school or major? Or does the school/major really only affect the why major essay?</p>

<p>I'm interested in applying under statistics in the school of engineering. Is this any harder than any other majors (besides music and architecture)? Thanks!</p>

<p>Rice does not admit by school or major, so there shouldn’t be a discernible advantage either way. If you want to be an engineer, declare that and use your essays as a way to show real desire and interest in being an engineer.</p>

<p>On a side note, Rice is big on the honor code. Wouldn’t recommend stunts like this, even if they did work.</p>
