If my financial aid is delayed, will that affect how much I get
If I had been admitted to Cornell I will not be thinking about Rice, even if it is an excellent school
Has anyone received financial aid packages?
I havenât :(, scheduling a meeting with them

Great on the Merit! Your son will be close to NYC and Boston and even Philadelphia. My daughter got Merit to school we jokingly call âin natureâ, great school but really ânaturalâ. We are urban too and her dream school Swarthmore is 30 minutes from Philadelphia. She is in public school but am enjoying a school sponsored trip to Europe right now. I donât want to disclose her itinerary because she is super private.
So you got accepted into Cornell ED? How did you even apply to rice RD?

Congrats to those admitted, it might be more competitive this year. The astrology 100% failed!
For UC Berkeley, the astrology makes 100% sense to me, as we are able to view the student ID. The âForbiddenâ theory for UCB admission is more convincing than âwithdrawâ link for Rice.
Rice just missed a future leader. Lol.

Did she applied to any safety ?
Yes they are
Congrats! Would you mind post his stats? Weâd like to learn, I have younger one next year.
Thanks!
Daughter was rejected for B.Arch. Stats for next yearsâ applicants: 1550 SAT, rigorous course loads, midyear GPA 3.9+ UW from an independent school with a reputation of no grade inflation, strong architecture portfolio, essays, and leaderships/extracurricular, national awards.
Sheâs one of the top achievers at Cornell architecture pre-college program. Is this one of the reasons why sheâs rejected by Rice (and WashU) as it might demonstrate prime interest somewhere else? but sheâs been accepted by other top architecture schools such as CMU, Syracuse, and Tulane.
Well, weâve got three ivy decisions to see on Thursday, and thatâs all.
Congrats to all admitted students!

I can post mine since I got admitted
3.84UW/4.2W, 36 ACT (made up for lowish GPA)
6 APs (not a lot) but 23 other honors classes and two college classes during a summer
Good essays (vague I know)
Good ECs (research w/national awards, volunteering, job during the weekends, ran a couple clubs)
LOTS of demonstrated interest, but it was all after I already applied
No merit though, probably because of the gpa

Yeah I get it, I thought Iâd get immediately thrown in the reject pile because of my unimpressive transcript. Your nephew certainly was academically deserving of admission as well. I guess college admissions really are a lotteryâŠ
