<p>Does anyone know how much Rice favors potential students whose siblings graduated from Rice (if at all)?
Just curious. Thank you.</p>
<p>I do not believe that a sibling is considered a “legacy”. I think that all schools prefer parents, etc (aka donors 
)</p>
<p>It should barely be a considering factor in the process. You are 100 times more relevant than your sibling when it’s you who are applying. </p>
<p>Thanks guys, I was just making sure. </p>
<p>My daughter is at Rice and she would say that Rice likes families. She has many friends at Rice whose siblings have attended or are attending Rice.</p>
<p>I think that Rice highly values interest and what better way of showing interest than visiting your sibling at Rice. </p>
<p>Both my kids went to Rice and overlapped a year. Both had very good stats, gpa, etc. and strong areas of interests, so I don’t know how much the second’s acceptance had to do with his being a sibling. Both had fantastic educations and opportunities there, and really enjoyed their experience.</p>
