I don’t know how much they factor how your decision will affect their yield ratio into the decision, but they do like to see that you’ve shown some interest in it beyond filling out the application. They want to see that you’ve learned enough about Rice to know that it’s actually a good fit for you, rather than just well-rated. Like the above poster said, visiting campus or interviewing are the best ways to do this.
