Hi, sorry to intrude but I think I can answer some of those questions! :)

I was waitlisted with 3.89 GPA, SAT 2320 and a couple of 5s on APs. I’m a first generation high school graduate, Asian, low income.
An admissions officer called yesterday (April 29th) afternoon and was asked if I was still interested, etc. I thought waitlist decisions didn’t even start until May 1st, so I freaked out!

For supplements…I seriously think my letter of interest did it for me. I reiterated that I would enroll if accepted since Rice was my top choice, and let them know about this invitational musical festival in March where I got to work with a world renowned composer for like an hour. It was really genuine (imho).
I’m from New Orleans, LA. :D
