WashU St Louis started taking students off wait list on 4/15.
@onelittleredfrog and that’s one of the peer schools. Very interesting.
Yes, and that’s a bit earlier than last year. Last year Wash U started taking people off on 4/30.
So I emailed the Rice admissions office to ask a question about my waitlist update. Accidentally typed UCLA in one of my sentences because I’m waitlisted there as well. Oopsie
Is anyone sending an updated transcript or progress report for the waitlist? I know they didn’t explicitly say anything about new grades, but I was wondering since most schools asked for one.
@“blackbelt2.0” Yea I sent mine in. My CC recommended that I did, and he has a pretty good relationship with the regional counselor, so I’m assuming he knows what they want to see.
Even though my grades dipped a bit, he still told me to send them in. The way he phrased it, if you don’t send them in they think you might be hiding something from them or something.
I just got a call from my AO saying I got off the RICE WAITLIST! I can’t believe it!!!
I JUST GOT A CALL SAYING IVE BEEN ADMITTED. THERES HOPE GUYS
Woahh I’m jealous, haven’t got a call lol
To those admitted, did you send an updated grade report as well for the waitlist, or just an LOCI?
@12potatoes @schooltastic Congratulations! Did you get a financial aid package too? Also wondering when you need to decide by. May 1st?
Wow, this is earlier than expected!
@blackbelt2.0 I sent a LOCI on 4/1 but not an updated grade report since my school is only doing pass/fail now because of the whole situation.
@saarinen Thank you !! I did not receive a financial aid package but I assume all will be covered since I qualify under the Rice Investment, and yes they said to reply by May 1st.
Congratulations! Such the existing moment for you to celebrate!!!
One question please LZ is the loci titled with: regional admission offer or just admission officer in general? If to regional officer, should put the regional officer name or not? Which region you belong to ? Thanks so much!!!
@schooltastic @12potatoes Who is your admissions officer? if you don’t mind me asking
@“blackbelt2.0” I sent in a LOCI but also an updated resume since Rice University doesn’t ask for a resume in the application process.
@schooltastic @12potatoes Who is your admissions officer? if you don’t mind me asking. Thank you!!!
