Rice Transfer Admission Rate

Transfer Students

<p>I’m finding Rice more and more appealing, but before I go any further, I want reassurance that the acceptance rate for transfers is not abysmally low. Does anyone have the current data? The following are all I could find on a quick Google search </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>They receive, on average, 400 applications, and provide slightly over 100 offers of admission.</p>

<p>Hey, thanks. </p>

<p>Also, what is the geographic breakdown of the student body (couldn’t find this info anywhere)? I read somewhere that it’s ~50% in-state, but I’m curious about the % of students from the Northeast and Midwest. It would also be helpful to know which among the 100 or so admitted students are applied from out-of-state. I do know that it’s harder to get if one is in-state.</p>

<p>Seriously? Are they like a Houston thing? I don’t what is worse, flying cacaroaches or the 10 degree weather I am stuck in right now…</p>

<p>i dont know if its a houston thing, cuz i heard central florida also has flying cacaroaches lol</p>

<p>Rice has 559 undergrad humanities majors.
My current school, Arizona St., has over 900 english majors (my major).</p>

<p>I think I will be happier after I transfer.</p>

<p>Rice is an awesome school, just be careful: the size of its humanities departments prevent them from being the most stellar ones out there, but they are excellent nonetheless.</p>
