Rice welcomes applications from students who have been homeschooled. Homeschooled students have the same application requirements and review process as all first year applicants, and are expected to complete the same curriculum requirements as students from traditional high schools. To ensure our evaluation process is fully informed, each homeschooled applicant is encouraged to provide clear, detailed documentation of their curriculum, assessment tools and learning experiences. You are welcome to submit a curriculum description and list of educational texts and materials used.

Letters of Recommendation

Rice requires all applicants, including those who have been homeschooled, to submit the School Report (Counselor Letter of Recommendation) and two Teacher Letters of Recommendation. Of the three required letters of recommendation, at least two must be completed by someone not related to the student.

Transcripts

We understand that your transcript may look different than those from a traditional high school. However, please note that your transcript must include a full list of courses by grade level and performance indicators (such as letter grades or GPA).

If you have completed coursework at one or more traditional high schools, colleges, or universities, you are required to submit an official transcript from each institution.
