Does your school have Naviance? How have students with your grades and stats done getting into Rice in the past? This should be a good indicator of your chances. Rice uses ED to fill part of its class but not nearly to the extent that Vanderbilt, Duke, Wash U, Northwestern, U Chicago and other schools do. Rice does not have ED2. Some students from my D’s private school in Houston got in Rice ED including an Asian male but others were rejected including an Asian male. Some students also got in RD including an Asian female. The majority of Rice’s students are from Texas.
