Rice University Wait List Acceptance Rate

Wait List Acceptance Rate

For the application year 2024, Rice University had a wait list acceptance rate of 3.1%, with 3,920 students offered a spot and 122 ultimately accepted. This represents a significant increase compared to the previous year (2023), which saw an acceptance rate of only 0.2% with just 7 out of 3,935 students admitted. The trend over the past few years shows considerable volatility; for instance, the acceptance rate was 5% in 2020 but dropped to 0% in 2022. This variability highlights the unpredictable nature of the wait list process at Rice.
