<p>I was notified of finalist status through my school about a week ago… Rice was my first choice through them as well.</p>
<p>Admitted.</p>
<p>1520/800/800/800 4.0 unweighted. Lots of music and academic stuff.</p>
<p>Joey</p>
<p>Rice-Obsessive, seeing someone as great as you get denied is making me feel nervous.</p>
<p>I’m kind of afraid to go the mailbox right now.</p>
<p>hey, dont worry about it so much…with your stats you’ll get into a great school…
s h i t happens, just gotta move on…me, i’m just glad i don’t get any more decisions until april…i can relax and not stress until later march</p>
<p>congrats joey!</p>
<p>60-second-rule… boooooo</p>
<p>did ANYONE with lower stats get accepted as in 1300 range ???
anyone at all ?</p>
<p>oh right, stats: 4.0 wieghted, 1500+ (i just hate writing my actual score… haha), 700+'s on all 3 SATIIs… uh. it seems my essay got me in everywhere i sent it… so i think that was it.</p>
<p>congrats rani</p>
<p>thanks angel… best of luck to you!</p>
<p>Dont worry, icymoon, I’m sure there was just something that Rice percieved being wrong with me as a candidate- I bet the rest of you will do great- it seems that stats arent as big of an issue at Rice as they are in other schools.</p>
<p>Accepted - Natural Sciences - IL</p>
<p>No scholarships though :(. I’m going to try for Rice-Baylor and see how that works out.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone. Especially wannabeariceowlgirl (has she heard yet?) and icymoon!!</p>
<p>Sorry, Rice-Obsessive … you definitely deserved to get in. I’m sure there must have been some sort of mistake. Can you ask your guidance counselor to call to find out what happened?</p>
<p>Joey</p>
<p>yeah… it really DOESNT make sense Rice-Obsessive. you got in, in my book!!</p>
<p>…in!</p>
