I'm sure they did the math. They aren't going to lose money.

:( Former student from Rice, and can definitely attest to this.

I received full a full tuition scholarship when I matriculated in 2008; the number of students in a similar situation was in the dozens.

Potential attendees are accepted based on SAT scores; class rank; extracurricular activities; etc.; and if the applicants make it through all of those bandpass filters, they're awarded full-tuition scholarships.

Yep. Common to other ivy league schools that also have 'free tuition'. I seem to remember Yale (or Harvard or both) making a similar announcement a few years ago.
