<p>Isn’t the above post the same as your post from 10/13/14?<a href=“Do I have a chance? ED - Rice University - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/rice-university/1695304-do-i-have-a-chance-ed.html</a>
Anyway, yes you have a chance. It sounds like you have been invited to SOAR (minority recruitment weekend) in November. I would take that as a very good sign that Rice is interested in you.<br>
Keep in mind that with Early Decision you won’t be able to compare the financial aid package with another school, because you will need to make a decision within two weeks of receiving the admission decision from Rice. </p>
