I am rooting for you folks to get in since Rice is a great school. But since Rice is a great school, Duke is not really any better and thus my statement about Duke might not pull much from Rice.

The problem with being on the Rice waitlist is that very few people will turn down Rice. It is a super-selective university with a really low price tag, irresistible in the current economy. Plus of course, the really small class size means fewer number of slots become available on the waitlist as well.

Having said that, you never know. Nothing is impossible with a little bit of luck on your side. Good luck to you and all the others waiting for Rice!

I sent them an updated resume and letter of continued interest yesterday and I just got a pretty nice response.

Hi John,

Thank you for the update, and congratulations on your latest
accomplishments! I will send a copy of your email to your application
file.

Kind Regards,

[Admissions Officer]

P.S. Your zeal for Rice does shine through.

johnny,

Was this via email or snail-mail? I never got a response for my letters of continued interest (this is my second time on the waitlist), which probably doesn't bode well for me.

probably going to close off by then. thats when all college assignments are done by and they send all the stuff out to people etc.

July 1st makes more sense...
