[OFFICIAL] Waiting Room

Colleges & Universities Rice University
81

<p>1~Cornell, Brown, NYU, UChicago, RWU, Northeastern,
2~Accepted at NYU, RWU, Northeastern, Waitlisted at Chicago
3~I loved how the school was small, but still so full of research opportunities and had a great campus life, much of which I attribute to the unique residential system!</p>

<p>I really hope decisions come out this week, and that I get in! An acceptance would salve the sting of being on the Chicago waitlist haha. And I really love Rice, and all this waiting and suspense is just killing me.</p>

86

<p>hey all… was just reading the thread and many of us applied to the same schools-interesting…</p>

<p>1) Cornell, Columbia, MIT, UT Austin, U of Illinois-Urbana, GATech, Cooper Union, UC-Berkeley</p>

<p>2) UT Austin, UIUC, GA Tech …*MIT rejected me, but i am an international 3%… so i wasnt too depressed… i kind of expected it</p>

<p>3)…hmh… its funny actually… during my junior midterms, i was chatting with this senior friend who had gone to rice… and i was like … howz engineering at rice?. and he said its really good… so i looked into it… before that i never considered rice since it isnt highly ranked coz im an intenational… my perception of unis is mainly out of US news rankings… i dont have a choice…
so anyways now i have fallen in love with it… and cant see myself anywhere else.</p>

87

<ol>
<li>NU, Vandy, Pomona, Scripps, StanfordColumbiaHarvard (hahaha), NYU, UChicago, University of Tennessee flagship (safety)</li>
<li>NYU, though I don’t like it as much as I used to, Vandy, waitlisted at UChicago</li>
<li>The residential college system seems cool, and I like that Rice isn’t overwhelmingly huge. I don’t know, it’s hard to put into words, you know?</li>
</ol>

<p>The wait is killing me.</p>

88

<p>DS:</p>

<p>1) UT, A&M, Tulane, Tulsa, Hendrix, Notre Dame, Macalester, Grinnell, Carleton, Stanford, Rice.
2) In at first seven and waiting to hear from Final Four.
3) First college he toured, and he just loved it. Strong academics, res college system is a big plus, and it’s in-state so close but not too close.</p>

89

<p>OH !! DECISIONS ARE OUT!!!</p>

<p>if only… sorry… just had to do that… they are NOT!, but i wish they were…</p>

90

<p>Ha, I actually fell for that for a second. </p>

<p>Anyone know if Esther will send e-mail notification if they put up notifications. Or will we have to obsessively refresh?</p>

91

<p>@indianinsaudi: IHY for that D: haha jk
Anyways…

  1. MIT, CMU, Georgia Tech, Purdue, USC, etc…
  2. Georgia Tech, Purdue, USC [yes, another MIT rejectee :P]
  3. Rice actually offered me a tour of their campus and paid for my flight and stuff. Although it was my first campus tour, it was undeniably my most memorable experience (even after the MIT and Harvard tours I would later have in Boston) because of the supporting and embracing community there at Rice.</p>
92

<p>Sorry, dumb question: On Esther, would the decision be up under the Application Status tab, or something else?</p>

<p>I really really like Rice. I’m dying here.</p>

93

<p>@airegin: Esther updates before e-mail.
So, if you want to know asap, refresh at Esther once people here go crazy. :)</p>

94

<p>I’m actually looking forward to that…unless I get rejected.</p>

95

<p>@snoopyiscool: I’m not too sure…
But I do believe decisions are released in “Undergraduate Application Status” where it should say “Application Status: Application Under Review” for everyone.</p>

96

<p>Wow, I feel dumb. I have no idea where to find “Application Status: Application Under Review”. I’m at the Undergraduate Application Status page, but nowhere does it say anything is under review. All it has is my name, decision plan, division, and personal/contact info.</p>

<p>Ugh. I can’t even read anymore.</p>

97

<p>kk, since i think we were done with the where you applied, why you applied… how about we play the word association game ?? but if you all want we can tweak the rules a bit… all words have to be in some form related to rice culture, traditions, building, profs, students, alumni etc…</p>

<p>lets start easy with</p>

<p>Bike</p>

98

<p>@Snoopy
Mine is the same way. I don’t see anything about “App Under Review”</p>

<p>@Airegin
Wow, those are some grim statistics :confused:
One person at my school I know applied to Chicago, and got in EA, but then another friend of mine in a different school was rejected.
Only one other person applied to Rice at my school, which I guess is good for me, but it sucks that no one really knows what I’m talking about when I mention Rice.</p>

99

<p>^Haha yeah, none of the kids in my school know what Rice is, and when I mention that it’s in Texas, they go all snobby-liberal-ew-Texas-rednecks on me.</p>
