Check the status page. Good luck!
It would be interesting if you guys all posted a synopsis of your stats and whether you got in or not. |

| Ah yes, the good ole decisions! They took a perfectly wonderful day and made it into...well...a not so wonderful one.
It looks like it's the U of Wyoming for me! Which I must admit is much more climate friendly for someone like me who hates hot and loves the cold and snow.
But oh well, I suppose I'll try and transfer next year...
Did anyone get accepted? | |

| I have a question y'all, when I click on the "Accept Rice Offer" button on the page where it asks you to decide, it leads me to the survey. After I submit it it just leads me to the Rice website.. I was like wha...?? And when I check my status again it goes back to the Congratulations page where it asks me again to make my decision.. hmmm | |

| That is strange, but shouldn't you wait to receive the admission packet (with the financial aid info) before accepting? I know that Rice meets 100% of your need-based aid, but wouldn't it be better to wait, just to make sure that the financial aid package is sufficient? | |

| I'm waiting for the financial packet. It's not really a deciding factor but it would make my parents a lot more willing to give me $400 if they knew i would be getting a little help with the costs. Since National Merit scholarship is a whopping $1000.... | |
