Students who are unable to submit test scores or prefer not to submit test scores will be given full consideration in the admission selection process.</p> <p>Standardized tests have long served to provide an external benchmark of college-readiness that provides meaningful information about a student’s preparedness for the rigors of a Rice education. As is consistent with our holistic review, test scores are one factor of many that are considered in the admission process.</p> <p>Students wishing to provide additional exams for admission consideration are welcome to submit these to our office. These exams are optional and at the discretion of the students to submit. We want students to have every opportunity to showcase their strengths and academic achievements where possible.</p> <ul style="list-style-type:disc"><li>AP Exams, IB Exams, or AICE Exams: Students may opt to self-report AP, IB or AICE exam scores in the testing section of the Common Application or QuestBridge National College Match Application. These scores show mastery of content knowledge in specific subjects and may be eligible for undergraduate course credit once a student enrolls.</li> <li>Predicted IB Diploma and A-Levels: Students enrolled in IB and A-Level curricula whose schools submit predicted scores for admission consideration are expected to complete their exams and submit final results prior to enrolling.</li> </ul><p><u>Additional Testing Policy</u></p> <p>Students applying to Rice University are recommended but not required to submit SAT or ACT for admission consideration. Students wanting to show their college readiness and academic strengths may choose to submit SAT, ACT, AP, or IB test scores.</p> <ul style="list-style-type:disc"><li>ACT or SAT: Rice does not have a preference for students to submit one test over the other. If an applicant submits both an SAT and an ACT score, the committee will consider the test that best enhances their application.</li> <li>Superscore: When reviewing SAT and ACT scores, we use the highest score from each section across all administrations. We encourage students to report all scores knowing that we will recombine the sections to get the best possible set of scores for each candidate.</li> <li>Essay sections: The ACT Essay and SAT Essay sections are not required and not considered for admission.</li> <li>Self-reported Scores: Students have the option to submit self-reported scores if they are graduating from a high school within the U.S. or submit official scores.

The letter must come from an applicant’s assigned school counselor, college counselor, principal, or headmaster. Applicants will not be disadvantaged if their high school structure and counselor’s caseload does not allow students the opportunity to build a personal relationship with their counselor.</p> <p><u>Teacher Letters of Recommendation</u></p> <p>The two teacher recommendations serve to highlight the applicant’s academic strengths and contributions in the classroom. Both of these recommendations should be from teachers of core academic subjects, and ideally one recommendation would relate to the applicant's intended area of study. Though not a requirement, we would prefer letters come from teachers who have taught the student for a full course.</p> <p><u>Supplemental Letters of Recommendation</u></p> <p>The required counselor recommendation and two teacher recommendations provide the Admission Committee with all the information we need to make an informed admission decision. However, if someone has unique and personal knowledge about an applicant's accomplishments or talents, the applicant may have that individual submit a supplemental recommendation. For example, this could include an employer, supervisor, coach, mentor, or another teacher. Supplemental recommendations must include the applicant’s full name, date of birth, or applicant ID and should be submitted through the application platform or to <a href="mailto:riceapps@rice.edu">riceapps@rice.edu.</a></p> </dd> <dt id="interview">Interviews</dt> <dd> <p>Interviews are a great way to communicate your knowledge about Rice and an excellent opportunity to showcase academic and personal successes while learning more about the campus experience. We recommend an interview for first-year applicants, though they are optional and not guaranteed. In years of high demand for interviews, all requests may not be fulfilled. Our inability to match you with an interviewer will have no impact on your admission decision. Interviews are not offered for transfer applicants.</p> <p>All interviews for the 2024 - 2025 application cycle will be conducted virtually. A member of the Rice Alumni Volunteers for Admission (RAVA) or current Rice University student will virtually meet with you to learn more about your accomplishments and academic interests and to answer your questions about life at Rice. Due to limited availability, you will need to submit your application for admission before requesting an interview. Beginning in late August, applicants will receive access to their online applicant portal, typically within 48 hours of application submission, where they can request a virtual interview by the deadlines below.</p> <p>Applicants are assigned to an alumnus or current Rice student interviewer based on availability – we do not accept requests for interviewer types. Both alumnus and current Rice student interviews are considered equally in the evaluation process.</p> <table><tbody><tr><th>DECISION PLAN</th> <th>APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY</th> <th>INTERVIEW REQUESTED BY</th> </tr><tr><td>Early Decision I</td> <td>November 1</td> <td>November 3</td> </tr><tr><td>Regular Decision – Priority Interview Deadline</td> <td>December 15</td> <td>December 17</td> </tr><tr><td>Early Decision II</td> <td>January 4</td> <td>January 6</td> </tr><tr><td>Regular Decision</td> <td>January 4</td> <td>January 6</td> </tr></tbody></table><p>Domestic students may record and submit a 60-90 second video via <a href="https://initialview.com/glimpse/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Glimpse</a> as part of their application.

Because we believe talent deserves opportunity, Rice offers need-blind admission to domestic students. This means we do not consider finances when we review the application. Additionally, Rice meets 100 percent of demonstrated need – without loans – through the Rice Investment, one of the most notable financial aid programs in the country. For more information about need-based financial aid and the Rice Investment, please visit our <a href="http://financialaid.rice.edu/">Office of Financial Aid website.</a></p> <p><u>Merit-Based Scholarships</u></p> <p>The Office of Admission offers merit-based scholarships to incoming first year students who distinguish themselves academically and personally within our highly competitive group of admitted students. These scholarships are based solely on merit and financial need is not taken into consideration. There is no separate application or interview required; the Admission Committee automatically considers all admitted students, both domestic and international, on the basis of the student’s application for admission. About 20% of admitted students are offered a merit scholarship each year. Students awarded a merit-based scholarship will be notified at the time of admission.</p> </dd> <dt id="ap-ib">AP/IB/International Examination/Dual Enrollment Credit</dt> <dd> <p><u>Advanced Placement (AP) Exams</u></p> <p>Rice University awards transfer credit for the Advanced Placement (AP) Program, which enables high school students to earn transfer credit for college-level courses taken in high school upon completion of AP examinations with a score of 4 or 5.

For more information about the international exams transfer credit process, please visit the <a href="https://registrar.rice.edu/students/international_exam">International Exam Credit page.</a></p> <p><u>Transfer/Dual Credit</u></p> <p>The Office of the Registrar evaluates courses taken at other regionally accredited colleges or universities (or their foreign equivalent) that are appropriate to the Rice curriculum for potential transfer credit.</p> <p>Transfer credit will not be awarded for courses included on a student’s high school transcript and used to satisfy high school graduation requirements, i.e. dual credit courses. Only those students who have more than 20 college preparatory courses may have the Office of the Registrar consider for Rice credit their college courses taken in high school.
