Geographical quotas? Competing for acceptance against those from your own school?

I had pretty much already made a decision on another school, but this completely turned me off to Rice. The others who were accepted came to the same conclusion. The six that were wait listed are disgusted enough by all their apparent “quotas” that they aren’t going to accept their positions on the wait list.

<p>This is not Rice specific. Everyone does this. If multiple people apply from the same school, you will be compared with each other.</p>
