\/><\/p>\n<p>here are some of the basics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>rice university is located on a 300-acre campus in houston, texas, and is generally considered to be <strong>the most selective school in the state.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>undergraduates at rice can select from over <strong>50 majors and 25 minors<\/strong>, and the university offers its students the flexibility to pursue several multiple degree programs.<\/li>\n<li>if sports are your thing, rice has teams competing in <strong>14 ncaa division i varsity sports<\/strong>, and offers intramural and club sports including jiu jitsu, water polo, and crew.<\/li>\n<li>according to the most recent princeton review rankings, <strong>rice ranked as the number one university in the united states for &#8220;quality of life&#8221; and &#8220;race\/class interaction,&#8221;<\/strong> and the second in terms of &#8220;happiest students&#8221;. if that&#8217;s not a glowing review, i don&#8217;t know what is!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>how to get into rice university<\/h2>\n<p>this year rice received over 20,000 applications (for the incoming class of 2023)&#8211;so with a total student body of roughly 4,000 undergrads, and a matriculating freshman class of around 1,000, they have to be pretty darn selective.<\/p>\n<p>the rice university admissions committee carefully sifts through those 20,000 undergrad applications each year to find the cream of the crop. and you&#8217;re chances of being considered cream will go up relative to the number of these bullet points you check off:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>you&#8217;re at or near the <strong>top of your high school class<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>you have <strong>extracurricular activities<\/strong> that demonstrate your leadership skills and social-mindedness.<\/li>\n<li>you have a

with your test scores.<\/p>\n<h2>rice university sat scores<\/h2>\n<p>each year, rice releases the demographic information of its incoming freshman class. while the rice university admissions details of the class of 2023 have not yet been made publicly available, the <a href=\"https:\/\/futureowls.rice.edu\/futureowls\/freshman_profile.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2022 freshman profile<\/a> still has a lot of relevant information about who&#8217;s currently attending rice and where they have been scoring.<\/p>\n<p>here are the rice university sat scores of the class of 2022:<\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-246\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-246 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\"><\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">25th

a one-size-fits-all situation when it comes to what sat score the rice admissions committee is looking for. undergraduates have been admitted with a range of sat scores, and your score alone is probably not going to make or break your application.<\/p>\n<p>however, it&#8217;s generally a good idea to aim for the 75th percentile of whatever school you&#8217;re applying to&#8211;in this case, you&#8217;d want to set your goal score of <strong>760 for evidence-based reading &amp; writing and 800 for math.<\/strong>. those are pretty high scores. read up on stories of how to get the <a

of the incoming freshman class scored a 35 on the act. again, your best bet is to set your goal score around the 75th percentile, so try to <strong>aim for a 35 on both sections of the act, and definitely make sure not to go below a 33 in english and a 31 in math. our post on the <a href=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/act\/perfect-act-score-stories\/\">perfect act score<\/a> can help you get
