<p>Comments: Rice looks like a great school to be at, although I will probably not enroll (I was accepted at Caltech EA and will likely attend there, pending HYPS decisions next week).</p>
<p>Rice asks ‘what other schools have you/are you going to apply to.’ Being honest and putting all your schools down is apparently not a guaranteed rejection-- I listed all 15 other schools I applied to-- and got in even though I had not visited campus, had an interview, or shown any other ‘demonstrated interest’ in Rice. My ‘why rice’ essay was ok, but rather generic.</p>
<p>Congratz to accepted students, and best luck to future applicants, as well as to those on the waitlist.</p>
<p>accepted!!! 2260 SAT, 4.0 GPA unweighted, average ECs, no hook. just looked back at my commonapp account and was really proud of the essay and short answers i wrote for the rice application. i started crying when i got the e-mail (in the middle of a store…). i’m not definitely attending because i have to wait to see how other schools measure up with financial aid, but i’m so excited!!</p>
<p>Omg ACCEPTED!!! ill post stats in a bit! holy **** im flipping out. like i am in love with this school :DDD</p>
<p>I was accepted but I didn’t get any merit scholarships, so I don’t think I’ll be attending. It’s sad since I love Rice so much. I don’t even want to go to owl days because it’ll just break my heart. :’(</p>
<p>My son was accepted and was awarded a Trustee Distinguished Scholarship. To those of you rejected, dont be discouraged. Everything happens for a reason. To those waitlisted, don’t lose hope. To those accepted, congrats and welcome to Rice.</p>
<p>accepted with 18k/year trustee scholarship, i am beyond thrilled. seriously almost started crying when i saw the email and then the scholarship, i never expected it… still not sure if i’ll be able to attend but i’m so happy right now!</p>
<p>!!! I was accepted and awarded the Trustee Scholarship and the Century Scholarship…so psyched! I may post my stats in a bit.</p>

[*] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I’m surprised and so happy.[/ul]</p>
<p>Accepted!!! I’m so happy 
I’m glad that they put it right in the email!</p>
<p>I was waitlisted. I haven’t subitted my MidYear report to any schools yet (due to constatnly forgetting to do so). Would that be a reason for being waitlisted?</p>
<p>S was accepted with $36,610 scholarship. Still waiting to hear from few more offers from other schools.</p>
<p>zomggg!!! WAITLISTED 
SAT was 2310 and GPA was 3.8 with decent ECs/very good essays</p>
<p>Ugh, I feel like my low GPA was the factor here. Ohwell</p>
<p>for those of you who think you did not get financial aid/merit scholarships… you have to choose your award year… it doesn’t default to that. choose 2012-13 and you will see your FA offer.</p>
<p>Congrats to all future owls. <3</p>
<p>Waitlisted. White, 32 ACT, 4.0 UW GPA, decent EC’s, really good essays.</p>
<p>Eh, whatever. I obviously would’ve liked to get in, but it wasn’t my top school or anything, so I’m not too heartbroken. Congrats to all those who were admitted!</p>
<p>Waitlisted (bittersweet feelings)</p>
<p>SAT: 1900, ACT: 32, GPA: 4.2, Essay: Excellent, Recs: Excellent.
ECs: 4 leaderships positions, 2 jobs (caricaturist and tutor), renewed my school’s winter-guard, Honor Society, member of 2 clubs, 100+ volunteer hours, church choir.
Rigor: took every AP class I could, except sciences, scores ranging from 3-5s.
Extras: Hispanic/Latino, first generation, several national and local art awards, top 10%, #1 out of 357.</p>
<p>Accepted to Architecture major.</p>
<p>Waitlisted, which I’m feeling kind of happy about since I was expecting to get rejected, LOL! I’m not too bummed about it since it’s not my number one choice and it’s a hard school to get into.</p>
<p>posting for a friend</p>
<p>2400, 3 subject test 800s (m2 physics chem), taking multivar calculus, USAMO qualifier, district level swimmer got wait listed</p>
<p>tough life huh. I know he’ll make rice (and every other school that has rejected/waitlist him) regret it. one day they’ll get to suck on his nobel prize. </p>
<p>I got in though.</p>
