Why was I denited early decision to Rice University? Rice Students, please reply.

<p>I appreciate all of you guys support! I guess I kinda knew I didn’t have a strong change of admission anyway. Deep deep… DEEP down I knew that my grades were not bad but also not on par with the average Rice admitted student. I guess I was hoping I was going to be one of those few that get accepted despite a lower GPA and test scores than the average applicant. I’ll try my best freshman year in college and try again. But, I need to also think realistically and seriously consider my other college options.</p>
