<p>Rice isn’t a school that people just apply to for the hell of it, even when they’re below the 25th percentile… Those kids go to one of the many party schools we have here. I didn’t even know about Rice until my junior year, and I got a 2200 on my SAT in Texas lol… The 82% in top 5% is key! That other 18% is made up mostly of student athletes I guarantee you.</p>
