thank you for letting us know!! Hopefully it won’t be too long
The person I called yesterday said decisions would come out next week.
Got more financial aid stuff requested by Rice in my application portal recently. Is it just me?
I didn’t see this forum until today but hi! I’m a student-activist and documentary poet.
If I get into Rice…
Major: English (creative writing track)
Minors: Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities & Law, Politics, and Social Thought
My high school transcript is meh. I had a 3.4 GPA and got a 27 on my ACT. I got IB credit for two HL courses: English & History.
Current college stats:
Major: Creative Writing
Minor: Creative Work (a poetry book)
Year: Sophomore
GPA: 4.0
Midterm Report GPA: 4.0
I’ve taken too many courses to show here lol but it’s basically my freshman core, creative writing classes, and a few random ones here and there.
Honors:
︎Four time TEDxYouth speaker
︎Dean’s list every semester
︎Internationally and locally published author, poet, and photographer
I am heavily involved in my community, but here are the basics of my extracurricular life. I perform poetry to raise awareness about social justice issues. I have served in student government as a sophomore legislator. I have also served as community engagement chair and event coordinator for numerous art collectives. I’m also the managing editor of an international literary journal. I have had three internships with art nonprofits and museums.
My writing components are strong and I have solid rec letters from my professors. I feel confident about my college career, but I’m still anxious about my high school transcript, so I’m not sure what to expect. I really hope I get in. I would love so much to go to Rice. I suppose all of us will be hearing back soon.
@chaoticcalm Same, I thought I was going crazy when I checked my portal last night and it said that I had yet to turn in my parent’s W-2 form. I wonder if this will affect our potential awards?
So are we expecting for decisions to drop this week?
@Transferredrr029 Should be this week.
Does anyone know if we will get an email when decisions are posted? Or should we just keep checking the portal regularly?
@swimgirl838 I would assume that we would get an email saying there has been an update to our portal. I still just check every day around noon though just in case they don’t send an email.
So it’s gotta come out tomorrow right?
Lol, I called again this week bc I was doubtful and this time the person I asked said “anytime from now to june.” Lil bit of wait we’ve got.
@Transferredrr029 That’s what I’m guessing. They’ve been calling those on the waitlist (freshmen).
Let’s hope it drops tomorrow then. Last year it came out May 3rd and they said that they didn’t anticipate any delays this year so Friday would make sense.
I really hope they drop today, this wait has been killing me.
They released freshmen decisions on a Friday, so I am hoping ours will be today!
Do you know what time of the day they released them?
I think 5:00pm Houston time. But they posted a picture announcing it on Instagram around 11:00am, just so people would be aware
I think they usually release transfer decisions at noon
Really? Now I am even more anxious lol
Also, I just noticed that the “Withdraw application” option is not there anymore (on the portal). Do y’all still have it?
