Easier to get in if from CA? Is Rice respected outside the south?

<p>Fifty percent of Rice alumni/ae live in Texas, and of those, thirty-two percent live in Houston. That you’ll end up here is likely if you enroll. </p>

<p>[Rice</a> University | Faculty | Researchers](<a href=“http://www.professor.rice.edu/professor/US__International.asp?SnID=1521667458]Rice”>http://www.professor.rice.edu/professor/US__International.asp?SnID=1521667458)</p>

<p>I sense that, though I can’t say for sure, since I don’t think the university has or publishes the data, that this principally applies to students who don’t wind up getting graduate degrees, or head to UT, UH, etc. post-baccalaureate.</p>
