<p>Hey guys, I am applying to Rice ED.(Nov 1st is coming, yay)</p>
<p>I open this thread to share questions or information among Rice ED applicants!</p>
<p>Sooo, here is the first question;
What is the chance of getting into Rice under RD plan If I get deffered?
I don't see why Rice would choose someone to whom it already said no. Also, RD has much more applicatnts along with a lowever acceptance rate..</p>
<p>[deleted b/c i misread your post]</p>
<p>Umm for the deferred chance. Possibly hgiher because they know that you’re committed? IDK, ask Rice admin ppl.</p>
<p>[deleted b/c i misread your post]</p>
<p>Edit: Do you know how receptive the readers are towards humor? all of my responses have some humor sometimes silly and other times witty. i.e. i write about how i desire to place a giant, red button with the sign “Do not push, seriously” in my waiting lobby and, if pushed, toilet paper and a note “i told you so” rain down on the pusher.</p>
<p>When they defer you, that doesn’t mean no. It means that you aren’t a definite yes or no. They will reevaluate your application with the rest of the apps in the RD round.</p>
<p>ED tends to have very competitive applicants. You may not be top of that group but may fit in with the RD crowd</p>
<p>@Antarius - thanks for the answer! For RD, do I send new application? If not, can I change essays I already turned in, for instance?</p>
<p>Do you know by any chance the approximate percentage of the deferred applicants who were accepted in RD?</p>
<p>I do not know the answer to what % are accepted. This is very dependent on the strength of the pool etc. </p>
<p>You do not need to send in a new application. You can, however, send in supplemental material that enhances your application. Example would include another recommendation letter, updated GPA/Test scores etc.</p>
<p>You may be able to change your essay, I would email <a href=“mailto:admi@rice.edu”>admi@rice.edu</a> to confirm that though</p>
