<p>I asked specifically if the “just under 20% figure” included National Merit scholarships
and he said no – this stat referred to the students who receive Rice grants. I sensed that he wasn’t eager to give me a break-down and didn’t push it. I do know that half of my son’s suite has Trustee Distinguished Scholarships – but that’s not much of a clue…
Maybe talking with an admissions officer could yield more info… Or maybe it’s meant to be a mystery like the number of likely letters mailed out …</p>
