<p>Hey poo194! I am a sophomore transfer matriculating this fall. In terms of transfers, Rice is pretty generous compared to its peer institutions. According to Rice’s website, they usually bring in 60 transfers (sophomore + junior) each year. They accept more than that obviously, and the amount of applicants is typically somewhere in the 450-500 range. We will have to wait to see the numbers from this year, because it was supposed to be far less than usual. I was told 35 originally but I know it was a little more than that. Not sure if that trend will continue, as it was supposed to compensate for a highly overenrolled freshman class from last year.</p>
<p>Since I’m not at Rice yet, I don’t have all that much “insider” information. Maybe some current students could weigh in?</p>
