<p>um yea, its not even a question, a college would not pay for you to travel to visit them if you were not acepted, and they hinted several times that we were in.</p>
<p>i hope thats true because i’d love to go to Rice</p>
<p>I’m sure it is true. In the transcript they sent us of the Vision chat thing the admissions people said if you’re invited, you have a 98% chance of being accepted. The 2% accounts for anything stupid you do senior year (like going to jail or failing a class haha)</p>
<p>Uh yeah Tamara pretty much told us we were in during our bus tour,
and I totally got that feeling from the dinner.</p>
<p>Not to mention everyone saying that they will see us in the Fall! Not…they hope to see us in the Fall.</p>
<p>And you guys have it all wrong, Bakerites represent!</p>
<p>I hope everyone had a great time. I was a volunteer at the airport and was glad to meet most of you. It’s always exciting meeting future owls. </p>
<p>On another note…try not to get attach to a specific college…yet.</p>
<p>acolombianp28</p>
<p>who sent you a transcript of the vision chat thing or did you have to personally request it</p>
<p>I’m not sure I just remember getting it in the mail and giving it a quick look. Till I saw that…</p>
<p>Regarding travel reimbursements for Owl Day, my son visited Rice last year on one of the Owl Day and got his travel cost reimbursed up to $300.</p>
<p>awesome! I hope I can also get reimbursed for Owl Days…</p>
<p>and hopefully some of you will be there to greet us when we go</p>
<p>i still haven’t heard about /gotten invited to Vision 2009…but i did get a likely letter…</p>
<p>Vision 2009 is already over :[</p>
<p>But getting a likely letter is great news!</p>
<p>lol i epic failed at not knowing about Vision 2009 - but i guess it makes sense that I wasn’t invited, seeing as I’m not URM</p>
<p>Vision already happened, it’s for URM. Congrats on the likely letter though!</p>
<p>has anyone gotten their reimbursement money back yet or do you know anything about when they will send it.</p>
<p>I was invited! But I’m not sure my parents will let me go…they’re really overprotective. Think it will look bad if I don’t go?</p>
<p>^No, you’re basically accepted anyway. GO!! It’ll be fun.</p>
<p>dont get his hopes up too much by saying hes “basically accepted”.</p>
<p>you have good chances of being accepted but dont count 100% on it. Congrats on your letter though; thats great. and why bump this year old thread</p>
<p>just thought other ppl might see it :)</p>
<p>I think I am going to go, but my mom wants to come with.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, it’s true. They’re highly recruited URMs.</p>
