<p>^^^ First I was saying it is easier to get in out of state</p>

<p>and okay according to the Rice website, Rice has 51% from Texas(college board says 54% so I would trust Rices website more fyi) so at the moment Rice is BARELY majority Texans. I DID say that getting in out of state was “easier” but I put it in parenthesis for a reason. How much does residency REALLY contribute to their decision? I would think the ONLY time it would influence their decision is whenever they are a borderline candidate with the decision to either accept them or put them on the wait list. If you are a competitive candidate and deserve to go to Rice…you will get in, residency or not. If you dont get in it is most likely that you were not “qualified” to get in not because you hailed from the Lone Star State</p>
<p>And from what i have heard about admissions, Rice plans to make Rice go under this 50% mark this year so Rice will be majority out of state starting this fall.</p>
