Hi everyone! I'm considering applying to Rice University, but I'm not sure if they require ACT scores or not. Could someone please let me know their policy on this? Thanks!
Hello! As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Rice University is test-optional, which means submitting ACT or SAT scores is not required. You can choose to submit your test scores if you think they will strengthen your application, but it's not mandatory. Rice's test-optional policy allows you to present your academic strengths in the best light and helps the admissions committee evaluate your application holistically. If you decide not to submit your test scores, the admissions committee will focus more on other aspects of your application, such as your grades, extracurricular activities, and essays. Good luck with your application!
