I have not been admitted to UIUC yet. You should see Rice profs.
Total: 19
6 are triple MITs (BS,MS and PhD)
At least one (comms guy) is a triple UCB
Dept head is a comms guy from UIUC
1 grad there left Stanford for Rice.
The UIUC guys I mentioned were UIUC undergrads that were Rice prospects.
1 prospect was form CMU, 1 from UC-San Diego, 2 from UT, 1 from TAMU.

UT does not have a quarter of Rice's funding per student.
EVERY Rice PhD track gets funded fully. UT only funds top 10% of new students. Those that did not get funding, MAY get it next year. But there is no guarantee (especially if you are foreign).
Not to take anything away from UT, but with no funding from UT Rice is an obvious choice for me.
If UT offers funding, I may think about it more.
