Rice is particularly difficult because it has a pretty small undergrad program AND students must meet minimum academic qualifications. A place like Eastman will have in incoming class in the range of 130 and academics are not as important although they do count somewhat. Some instruments are “hotter” at some schools than others and are thus, more competitive regardless of the numbers.

You cannot play the numbers game in music performance. There are too many variables, the numbers we are dealing with are small overall, and there things change quite a bit from year to year. All you can do is do your best at the auditions and sit back and wait for the results.
