This is the official discussion thread for Rice University Class of 2028 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
Does anyone have an idea of when Rice will release their admission decisions (prior year release dates, etc.)?
RD just says “before 4/1”. Hoping much sooner!
Did all of you receive an email today “Which research effort will you pioneer at Rice?”? After coming back from holiday break, My son received one email for Extenship, one for FAFSA, today’s is the 3rd. Did everyone receive these?

Hmm, but the 28th is ivy day this year. Has Rice ever historically released on Ivy Day?
Don’t know. If it’s Ivy day, I guess it’s good. All done at once before starting April.
Did all parents receive an email from RICE today about exploring and visiting Houston?

Just want to inform the upcoming and perspective owls and families, beer bike this year is 4/6. There will be activities the Friday before, or even earlier. If you plan to visit campus, you may want to factor in this event. Some want to experience it while some want to avoid it
