<p>I applied ED this year and was given the full scholarship (tuition + room + boarding). So was pyles…</p>
<p>But then again my parents make less than 30k a year so it was a guarantee… How much do you make in a year? If it is 60k or less then I suggest you apply ED instead of QuestBrige. If it is >60k then I suggest you apply for QB. The biggest risk with QB is that the number of acceptances for QB is just extremely low compared to ED. From what I’ve seen in my school, the percentage drops drastically if you do QB… It seems like ED = around 30% acceptance while QB would probably be 5-10 students TOTAL for Rice… RD decreases your chances a good portion (possibly 5 points, and more depending if you are OOS or not) so I suggest that if Rice is your #1 choice and you have a fairly good chance of getting a full ride (you make less than 60k) then I suggest you just apply ED</p>
