I was FINALLY able to pry out some info from the admissions office today in a phone call. The class of 2024 is more than full. The only reason why the waitlist is being kept open is that in mid-July, there is a deadline for students/families to confirm that they will be matriculating this fall, and not be asking to defer enrollment, plan to enroll somewhere else, etc. The AO I spoke to said that they believe their over-enrollment will provide a sufficient buffer against an above-average level of melt, but are holding onto the WL in case something crazy happens. They encouraged me to re-apply next cycle as a transfer if I remained interested in Rice.
