<p>You really can’t reach a conclusion about stats going up. What I will say is the following: applicants to highly-selective colleges/universities are somewhat self-selective. In other words, they choose to apply to the school because they think it would be a good fit for them. As awareness about Rice grows, the number of applications will rise, but I do not suspect a large change in the stats. There will simply be more applicants who are strong enough to get into a highly-selective university that are now aware of Rice.</p>
<p>Remember this: your SAT score is just a reflection of how you spent a couple of hours on a Saturday morning. Some people test well, some don’t. The SAT is not the only component of the application for a reason. Rice’s holistic process assures that everything will be considered.</p>
