Does Admissions strike entire schools from consideration?

I am pretty certain Rice won’t discount a qualified applicant based only upon their school. I also doubt they give that much attention to a single high school in New England. There can be a lot of other factors that influence the process, not to mention coincidence and the fact that college admissions aren’t perfect and are based off of more than quantifiable achievement. I can’t tell you what the specific reasons were in this case, but I can say confidently that Rice didn’t simply decide that it doesn’t like your school. I don’t mean to discredit the qualifications of the applicants in question, though.
