Why do some people overrate Rice... |
Because it’s admissions rate and statistics are the same as HYP. |
It's not. |
Hahahahaha oh this is a new level of pathetic |
From their website. 25th percentile. 34. 75th percentile. 35. That’s as good as any Ivy. And a single digit admit rate. |
We’ll the numbers don’t lie. The poster is not wrong. |
What numbers? Those schools are not equivalent in any way. Vanderbilt = Columbia? Duke/Rice = HYP?! LOL. |
NP--And upon what numbers are you basing your out-loud laughter? There is essentially no difference in the quality of an education at any of the schools mentioned in this thread. Compare them on your choice of numbers available in their Common Data sets. Regardless, what matters is not the school anyway, but the individual and what they make of the school. This was shown to be true over a decade ago by Alan Krueger and Stacy Berg-Dale...... https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1871566 |
People like to talk about Ivy League “reject” schools as if it were derogatory. Given that HYP rejects more than 95% of applicants and the fact that many of the 5% or so who were actually accepted have hooks (legacy, athletic recruits, donors, child of VIPs, first-gen, URMs, etc), being an Ivy “reject” is actually a good thing. Also, keep in mind that that acceptances are a bit the luck of the draw. In short, all colleges outside the Ivy League would love to be considered Ivy “rejects” as it means that very strong students are applying to them. Not being an Ivy “reject” means that college is not even on the radar of strong students. I |
Alan Krueger - such a loss |
Interesting article for those so obsessed with HYP:

WashU, Emory and Rice are no-name schools. Vanderbilt is maybe equivalent to or a little lower than the lower Ivies (Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell), while Duke is probably equal or a little higher. |
Duke/Rice <= Columbia/Penn |
If there is no difference than shouldn't all the schools be equal then? |
