Thank you!
Got the call on 4.28!
Does anyone know if Rice will release waitlist decisions in waves? I had submitted a LOCI early april but no news for me
@glasscastle13 I hope so! I’m in the same position as you. High stats but no hook & I have financial need so I don’t have high hopes 
Thx. In the evening?
Anyone receive anything today?
I didn’t, but I heard a girl at my school who was waitlisted got in. I hope its not by region
do you mind if i ask which region?
Has anyone from Texas been admitted, and if so, what area/ city?
@“blackbelt2.0” someone from my school who is from Texas got in. Its a boarding school in New England so I’m not sure if they are considered regionally from TX or the state where my school is in.
Are waitlist decisions need-blind, and can you negotiate for aid if you get accepted?
Have any intl students gotten off the WL yet? oof
I was admitted from the waitlist on 04/28 (from the Dallas, TX area)
@lizi122 we are from the Northern Virginia area.
Pretty sure they’re need-blind! It says it right here at https://admission.rice.edu/apply/freshman/waitlist-faq and I’m an unhooked applicant asking for nearly full need and still managed to get in. Interesting too, on the phone the AO asked If I was admitted if I would enroll, and I said likely yes, but dependent on financial aid and his reaction was “So you requested for financial aid, interesting.” Was a bit of an awkward response but I’m guessing he wasn’t aware, which may be reflective of admissions.
I haven’t received my aid yet/tried to negotiate, but I believe all admitted students can negotiate for aid. Even upperclassmen so I don’t see why waitlisted students would be an exception. It may be a little tough to do in the window given though if you’re weighing options since you only have 3-4 days to enroll after being accepted.
Anyone from California yet?
What about NYC?
NOVA represent!
Do they do it based on location? I’m from Cali and I haven’t gotten anything
