Class of 2022 Rice RD Discussion Thread

Hi everyone! Just sent my regular decision app today… Time to wait until April 1st! 8-|
Anyone else submit?? I did it a little earlier so that it wouldn’t keep hanging over my head…

Got deferred in the ED round, hopeful I’ll make it RD!

@promethealex I heard Rice, unlike Harvard and MIT, defer a select few. You have a really strong chance!!
What did you put in your Rice Box, by the way?

@anxiouswreck Haha hopefully! I put in a picture of me during a summer camp where I was playing guitar with a few girls in my class (I was the teacher of 3rd and 4th graders)

My Box was a picture of 3 lions just lounging.

Same, I got deferred. Keeping my fingers crossed for RD!

any international student? How do we submit the financial statement and what is the deadline for it? Is interview mandatory?

Has anyone received an invitation to Rice VISION yet? Last year they started coming out on January 6th (Friday).

@MaybeHarvard2022 I’ve seen them come out around Jan. 13th too. Is it only for URM? I don’t really know a lot about it, or what the difference is between that and SOAR lol.

@anxiouswreck yes it is for URMs only. It is basically Rice’s form of a likely letter. Students are invited ton visit campus and stay in the residential colleges and attend classes. Also, 25-50% of those who attend VISION end up receiving Rice’s merit scholarships. They tend to invite around 200 students.

Just wanted to drop in and say Good luck to you all. Can’t believe its been a year since when I was in your seats! Love to see some or all of you on campus this Fall.

Anyone else receive their ESTHER login today?

@MaybeHarvard2022

Yes my son got it yesterday. He applied RD to Rice.

Yes received mine last night but have trouble with an error…I applied RD

@Taylor2018 mine isn’t letting me log in

mine still hasn’t come in yet

I got mine recently and it was working fine… Maybe try again now??

Does anyone know what the additional “counselor form” is that has to be sent along with your mid-year report? I was looking on the application checklist to see if anything else had to be sent in addition to the mid-year report and that’s what it said

Any word on the decision date?

@billybobby54 I gonna guess March 22nd since it’s historically come out the 2nd to last Friday of the month.
