<p>It’s official - a much bigger class this year:</p>

<p>[Rice</a> University | News & Media](<a href=“http://www.media.rice.edu/media/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=16036]Rice”>http://www.media.rice.edu/media/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=16036)</p>

<p>1,006 students selected from a record applicant pool of 13,814 students. The freshman class contains 103 foreign nationals, 70 African-Americans, 107 Mexican-Americans and 50 multiracial students. Texans fill 45 percent of the class.</p>

<p>Approximately 40% of this year’s students had a perfect 4.0 GPA or higher in high school, and another 30% had only one B. More than 90% of this year’s incoming freshmen were ranked in the top 10% of their high school class.</p>

<p>What amazing stats! Wonder how they compare with the ivies?</p>

5

<p>This does not bode well for 2016 hopefuls. The acceptance rate is going to plummet now that they’re factoring a higher yield & that there is less space because of the large class of '15.</p>

<p>Many have alleged, and it is certainly plausible, that Rice does appear to discriminate somewhat against Texans to achieve the 55/45 (out-of-state/in-state) ratio. Does anyone know where there are statistics for the admission rate and yield for in-state students?</p>
