<p>I found something interesting that maybe some people could explain here.
I was looking at my HS naviance page, and the Rice average GPA admitted was on par with HYPSM, about .25 GPA points (out of 5.4 per my school’s weighting system) higher than peer schools, such as the lower ivies. But Rice has a two to three times higher admit rate than the five schools its admitted GPA aligns with, and a similar admit rate to the schools that have a much lower avg. admitted GPA. Is this just a statistical anomaly? (btw, about 15 people apply from my school to Rice each year and about 2-3 get in, and the data takes into account the past few years)</p>
