Judging by our large, top OOS public, Rice is a very tough admit. We have a sea of red on Naviance amongst the highest stats. They are not yield protecting. Theyâre using holistic admissions.

Son waitlisted. Engineering. 1550, NMF, 4.0, highest rigor. We did not visit, and really couldnât due to COVID, but I think I regret that. He doesnât want to prolong the agony and said before today that heâd decline a waitlist. Weâll see when heâs really faced with it. He did decline his spot on the waitlist at Northeastern.

D22 accepted! Weâre still in shock, lol. She was waitlisted earlier at WashU.
4.0 UW, 36 ACT
7 APs plus multivariable calc (school limits to 6 but she petitioned)
Good chorus/theater-heavy ECs but nothing crazy
Strong essays, same expected for letters of rec
She did have a central story based on languages, and she applied with an interest in linguistics â I bet they donât see that as much as the STEM fields. Kid is over the moon! Also acceptances from UGA and Furman so far, waitlisted at WashU, still waiting on Northwestern, Emory, Brown, Tulane, Wake Forest and Davidson.
