Rice University requires all applicants to submit either the SAT or ACT (corresponding writing tests are optional). Two Subject Tests in fields related to the proposed area of study are recommended.

Rice accepts either self-reported or official scores from applicants attending U.S. high schools. First-year applicants who will graduate from high schools outside the U.S. and all transfer applicants will be required to submit an official score report at the time of application. Admitted students who choose to enroll at Rice will be required to submit official test scores prior to matriculation. To be considered official, all scores must be sent directly from the testing organization.
