Does anyone know what the acceptance rate was for RD

Congrats.Where do you see the scholarship?

It’s supposed to be 7% this year

It’s at the bottom of the screen. If you got the scholarship letter, it will be right above the Next Steps document.

@college_scout1 @Small_Man did you both get in?

You will be great, I know it. Colleges are like pants, can’t really wear two pairs at the same time. My daughter is away and not checking on Rice today. So far she has only gotten into her safeties and WL at her dream school.

Just curious, how much was the merit scholarship from Rice?

My nephew is rejected, he’s sobbing…as I told him either WL or Admitted this morning.

The withdraw asthlogy is FAKE!!!

Is better not to look at the Astrology…is not accurate…the people on the Berkeley forum are going nuts one week before the decisions date…is not very mental healthly

Wow I am so truly sorry about that. Just goes to show we may never truly know our decision until we get the letter sometimes…

Great colleges, congratulations to your son. Perhaps think of where he might want to start his career if he does not plan on graduate school after college right away?

Sometimes the best answers are unanswered prayers. My son also received a rejection; his only rejection. He has been accepted to amazing schools and he is okay having had this answer. Your nephew also has a great future ahead of him at another school. Chin up.

College decisions are so interesting I got into Cornell, UMICH, WASHU but flat out rejected here. Well what happened happened, I’m sure were gotta be happy where ever we end up.

In that case it will be Fordham…he is very urban and is afraid he will not get adapted to a such big campus/greek life environment like in UWM
And Fordham offered him a merit scholarship.
