<p>Not necessarily. Rice's retention rate is one of the highest.</p>
<p>okay true. but i am trying to not scare her into her first year at NYU!</p>
<p>just got my acceptance today</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>I'm in - don't know the chances of me actually going, but I have that option now.</p>
<p>Did you guys get your envelope yet? I didn't.</p>
<p>so umm..did anyone actually get rejected?</p>
<p>That's why I was asking if anyone got their acceptance envelope yet. For freshman they sent the acceptance packets priority so they got there a day before rejections.</p>
<p>yeah I got my acceptance letter...
i got in for spring though--trying to opt for fall semester..seeing what I can do. </p>
<p>maize, what is stopping you from going??</p>
<p>That's odd - Do you live closer to RI than I do?</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm probably not going to go because I just found out I'm going to have a chance to write my honors thesis next year with a (very) world famous philosopher - I was surprised he even looks at undergrad's stuff.</p>
<p>oh wow. thats awesome. that'll definitely get you to grad school. </p>
<p>i live in Maryland.</p>
<p>thanks so much for your help red. I actually decided a couple days ago that if i don't get into tufts, I wanna go to brandeis. I really like the idea of boston and i know for a fact that the kids at brandeis are so kind and welcoming (and that's not gaurenteed at nyu). </p>
<p>again, good luck!</p>
<p>This is irritating. I live in MA and have received nothing! Oh well.</p>
<p>I actually got rejected Red.</p>
<p>The system fails again:(</p>
<p>it's unfortunate.</p>
<p>i'll second that calipharius--rejected as well</p>
<p>Does anyone here who was accepted mind posting their financial situation regarding Brown? I was waitlisted, I'm told, due to my financial situation (barely any money available; parents make less than 40k a year). This dilemma is especially aggravating because I opted to apply for transfer status rather than as a freshman (I had a choice due to the fact that I only just turned 18) because it was clear, at one point, that a decision would be need-blind in either case. Because they changed their aid policy at the last minute regarding transfer applicants, I am rather stuck.</p>
<p>oh wow. that sucks, igarvey. maybe there's someway they can reconsider? I mean you are on the waitlist which is not a definite 'no' by any means. I definitely think its their problem and not yours so I dont think it'd be a worthless battle. </p>
<p>Janel--what other options do you have? </p>
<p>and congrats on your decision Girlygrl. Im also the biggest Boston fan EVER and completely understand. Plus, Brandeis is a really good school. </p>
<p>good luck everyone.</p>
<p>Hey, Red, I know you got your letter, but in case you didn't notice this..</p>
<p>There's a box on the back of the commitment card you can check off if you want to be considered for the fall semester. There's space provided for a "reason" as well. Good luck!</p>
<p>yes! thanks a bunch flipflopgroove. I filled it out and talked about how i have no housing at NYU which i think is a pretty legitimate reason. hopefully i can go in the fall cause that would just be completely awesome. In any case, I've decided im stoked regardless of the semester. I hope I'll see you there!</p>
