<p>my friend told me that she had received a letter or something saying that she got her application fee wavered for rice because she took three ap’s and received three fives.
i took four and got three fives and one four, and i didn’t get an email from rice even though they know i’m interested in them. </p>
<p>i was upset. haha, so i emailed admissions asking if someone could tell me whether i qualified for whatever that is. i’m still waiting on a response.</p>
<p>c-hica, same with me! My two friends whose AP records are the same as mine if not worse also got waivers!</p>
<p>I’m upset, because Rice is one of my top choices. If they had waived that fee, I’d have jumped for joy.</p>
<p>Darnit, I thought the National Merit thing was all bs back in May and didn’t want to list any schools because then they would’ve seen my crappy barely above 200 score. -_-</p>
<p>(bump)</p>
<p>Sorry this is an old topic, but are there any other institutions that off fee waivers for the PSAT?</p>
<p>If other colleges do, then I shouldn’t have recycled the packet I got from M.I.T. without looking at it. I listed Rice and M.I.T. as my two schools for NM, and I got my fee waived for Rice because I actually bothered to open the letter. Does anyone know if M.I.T. did it as well?</p>
<p>It seems like Rice has a lot of extra money, so they just waive application fees of high-scoring testtakers as an incentive, I guess.</p>
<p>Hey, now it doesn’t hurt at all to apply, you won’t loose money. So why not apply?</p>
<p>APPLY APPLY APPLY. I can’t emphasize it enough.</p>
<p>I’d never even heard of Rice until they waived my application fee and sent me an email about the Rice/Baylor program.</p>
<p>Tomorrow morning, I’m off to matriculate at Rice, where I’ll be a member of Sid Rich College and a Rice/Baylor student.</p>
<p>you really have nothing to lose, so why not?
They give you excellent merit aid and it’s a fantastic school overall.</p>
<p>Plus, I can’t tell you how nice it feels to know I will never have to rush a sorority.

<p>Hey, I got a letter in the mail today. I was pretty surprised, and completely forgot I selected rice for the PSAT thing. (I forgot all about the PSAT thing.)
I was considering applying as a high match/low reach school, but now I’m definitely taking a closer look at Rice. I’m actually fairly flattered that Rice would waive the fee.
I remember selecting Cornell as the other school. Hopefully I get a letter from there soon. =]</p>
<p>I got it waivered, but in my application they still want me to pay and i dont know why.</p>
<p>i know this is an old topic, but i wonder why i didn’t get a fee waiver? i listed rice as one of the two for the national merit thing, and i got eight 5s (although i’d heard this was a psat thing, not an ap thing). if it’s relevant, i live in texas. so maybe it’s inconsistent for texans (as someone else pointed out)?</p>
<p>or maybe i did get mail from them and misplaced it.</p>
<p>whatever. sorry, i’ll forget about it now. :)</p>
<p>dbudde22, that’s strange. 
did they give you a passcode or something? how did they say they’d keep track of people who’ve been offered fee waivers?</p>
<p>I’m sure they just have a database of names of people who will have their fees waived. I got mine waived, and they just told me to select “Fee Waiver” and “Other” on the Common App thing for payment.</p>
