I sent in my application and supplment for transfer admission in the first week of March. I also mailed the signature page at the same time. I haven't received a PIN # or anything to check my application status. is this normal? Has anyone else who has applied for transfer received theirs?

Thanks.

Sorry, the title has a bad typo. So much for rushing...

My D got her pin # and login ID last week. The email giving her this information also listed the several items they had not yet received, and an admonition that all (allegedly) straggling documents had to be received by Rice by April 3.

You might want to give the Admissions office a call tomorrow and ask about status and pin # and login ID. They are friendly and helpful.

Myrmidon, did your status page date change today? Mine was like April 13th for like the longest time, and today it suddenly became April 22nd!

Janekoh89--MY D's status changed today too--from April 14 to April 22. They must be doing something down there in Houston!

Mine changed to the 24th. Should I be scared?

EDIT: Can a mod please edit the thread title? My ability to make gazillions of typos is becoming really frustrating.
