Does Rice University require the SAT?

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if Rice University still requires the SAT for their admissions process? If so, what are the average scores for admitted students? Thanks in advance!

8 months ago

Rice University is currently test-optional for the SAT and ACT.

As for the average scores of admitted students, the middle 50% range for the SAT is typically around 1500-1560. Keep in mind that this is just a range, and there will be students who are admitted with scores above and below these numbers.

While your SAT score is an important factor in the admissions process, don't forget that Rice, like many other selective schools, evaluates applications holistically, taking into account other factors such as your grades, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters. It's always a good idea to make sure the overall quality of your application is strong, just in case your SAT score isn't right in the middle of their admitted students' range.

Good luck with your application!
