<p>In all honesty, we can’t tell you exactly why you weren’t admitted because we’re not on the admission committee; we can only speculate. Your SAT scores were probably not what you wanted them to be, but Rice doesn’t only look at SAT scores. That’s why people with great SAT scores may still be rejected from Rice.</p>
<p>One thing that you should keep in mind is that when you’re dealing with the Top 25 schools (more or less), ** whether or not you get in is pretty much unpredictable**. As I mentioned before, there are people with great SAT scores and great GPAs that still get denied. Likewise, there are people with just okay SAT scores that are admitted. So I really can’t say why you were denied.</p>
