The 2023-24 CDS now has admissions specifically for In-State, domestic Out-of-State, and International, which is cool. It is a year behind at this point, and not all colleges are reporting, but I think still worth looking at when available.

So for Georgia Tech, domestic OOS was 4328/34535 (12.5%), International 835/8392 (9.9%). That’s actually less of a drop than I have seen some other places, but as you point out, definitely lower.

Unfortunately, Rice did not report. Still, it is a pretty good assumption it will be lower than Rice’s overall admission rate, which was 2447/31059, or 7.9%, in their 2023-24 CDS. Just for comparison, Emory did report separately. Their overall was 3543/33255, 10.7%, and Internationals were 498/7548, 6.6%. That sort of difference, from what I have seen, is more typical for highly selective (and expensive) private colleges like Rice.

OK, so I am pretty sure Rice’s International acceptance rate is typically at least somewhat below Georgia Tech’s, maybe quite a bit below. Of course what this means for any given International applicant is extremely complicated, including when you factor in pay status.
