<p>Rice University called my academic affairs office and requested my midterm grades. Should I take this as a good sign??</p>
<p>I would say it is. It means that they are still interested in you.</p>
<p>I find it strange that they called my academic affairs office directly, instead of asking me to send them.</p>
<p>That says to me that I probably completed my application and this is special extra information they only ask about if they’re unsure? I hope my 3 A-'s and 1 A are a good thing… too bad it wasn’t 4.0!</p>
