Questions about ACT
I'm getting a mixed answer regarding the ACT. Some students have told me that you need both the ACT (with Writing) and the SAT II's while the Rice Univ. website says that you only need the ACT with Writing and the SAT II's are "waived". Whats the real fact?

It's my understanding that prior to last year Rice required SAT IIs even if you were submitting the ACT. That has now been changed to SAT I and 2 SAT IIs OR the ACT with writing (per the admissions website). You can always call the admissions office to confirm, though.
