We had 4 kids from my school get into rice this year from RD, but I don’t know how reliable the data is cause this is the 3rd year this school has been open. One also got waitlisted. The ones who got accepted had slightly lower ( like .05) GPA’s, no sports, higher SAT/ACT, and a couple of decent EC’s. I know all of them personally and they said that the essays are huge for rice. 3 who were accepted were Asians and one was white. The one who got waitlisted was also Asian. Our school does pretty well for a new school ( Top students go to Harvard, MIT, Duke, Johns Hopkin, Yale, etc) and the majority of those people are Asian, so I don’t think to be Asian handicaps people that much.
