Future Owls captured the joy and excitement of opening their Rice University acceptance letters, celebrating their place in the Class of 2029. Rice welcomed 391 early decision students, marking another year of record-breaking interest. A total of 2,970 students applied through early decision this year — a 3% increase over last year’s numbers and the third consecutive year of record-high applications.
In addition, 100 exceptional students earned their spots through the QuestBridge program, which connects high-achieving, low-income students with top universities across the country.
The excitement is just beginning for these future Owls, who will flock to campus for O-Week in August.
