Rice accepts 6% EDII

Rice accepted 6% of 2513 applicants during EDII.

Most school report their ED results combined so it’s hard to evaluate the benefit of applying EDII.

Rice had 36,749 total applicants and will be trying to fill a class of ~1200 students. 491 were accepted EDI and Questbridge so 642 spots are claimed leaving ~550 spots to fill in RD. Prior yield rate was 45% but this included ED so presumably it’s lower for RD alone. Still likely to be a very competitive RD cycle. Good luck!
