On Dec. 10, Rice admitted 421 students through the Early Decision program, a 16 percent acceptance rate, according to Vice President of Enrollment Yvonne Romero da Silva. This year, Rice received its highest ever number of applications for this round of admission, narrowly beating the previous record set in 2018, with 2,635 applying to join the class of 2025.
The total number of applications increased by 29 percent compared to last year, which saw 2,042 applicants and a 18.9 percent acceptance rate. Romero da Silva said she attributes the higher interest, as well as a greater diversity of applicants, to Rice’s test optional policy this year. 57 additional students were also recently admitted through the QuestBridge National College Match program.
